The High Court today granted bail to former Daily Star executive editor Syed Ashfaqul Haque in a case filed over the death of teenage maid Preeti Urang due to negligence.

The HC bench of Justice Md Rezaul Hasan and Justice Fahmida Quader passed the order after disposing of a rule issued in this regard, said Ashfaqul Haque's lawyer Md Khurshid Alam Khan.

Preeti Urang's death sparks outrage as her community demands justice

Preeti Urang, daughter of a tea worker in Sylhet's Moulvibazar, fell to her death from the eighth-floor apartment of Syed Ashfaqul Haque in Dhaka on 6 February.

The next day, her father, Lukesh Urang, filed a case with Mohammadpur police station, against Ashfaqul Haque and his wife Tania Khondoker.

The couple failed to secure bail after filing petitions several times in the lower court. Later, they appealed to the High Court.

Meanwhile, Syed Ashfaqul Haque was terminated from Daily Star on 2 April.

Last year, another teenage maid fell from Ashfaqul's apartment and suffered severe injuries.
