Khadija discharged from DSA case charges

Court Correspondent :
Jagannath University student Khadijatul Kubra was yesterday discharged from one of the two Digital Security Act cases.

The other case was postponed for hearing till February 29. Dhaka Cyber Tribunal Judge AM Zulfiqar Hayat passed the order.

But, Khadija was not discharged from the case because the court only deemed her not-guilty.

Rather court stated that she is being dismissed from one case, because the two cases concerning one incident cannot run simultaneously. The bench officer of the court confirmed the media.

Khadija was accused in two cases filed by the Kalabagan and New Market police on October 11 and October 19 of 2020.

The court rejected the Kalabagan Police Station case, while the other is awaiting hearing.

Khadija suffered over 14 months of jail term in the DSA cases, and finally walked out of jail on Nov 20, 2023, after securing bail from the Supreme Court.
