Confirming the development, defence lawyer Mohsin Reza said Kalimullah had secured bail from the High Court on 14 June.

"We have submitted the bail bond, and there is no legal bar to his release as there is no other case pending against him," he added.

Meanwhile, Monday had also been fixed for the submission of the probe report, and Kalimullah was produced before the court from jail.

However, the court deferred the submission of the investigation report until 23 September.

The case was filed on 18 June 2025 against Kalimullah and four others over the alleged embezzlement of funds allocated for development works at the university.

Members from the Detective Branch (DB) arrested him from his Mohammadpur residence on 7 August 2025.
