The court has also tasked the Rapid Action Battalion with the investigation of the cases, Sefat's lawyer Mohammed Mostafa said. Earlier, Shipra Debnath, who was also a part of the documentary film crew led by Sinha, was released from jail after being granted bail by a court on Sunday. The student of Stamford University will remain free on bail until the submission of the investigation report. The court also heard Sefat's bail petition on Sunday but the judge fixed the next day to issue a verdict on the matter. Sefat and Shipra, both students of Stamford University's Film and Media Department, were accompanying him.
