Khayrul Alam and Justice Sheikh Abu Taher, heard seven separate bail applications filed by Dipu Moni. He was granted bail in a murder case filed at Mohammadpur Police Station and a rule was issued in the remaining cases.

Dipu Moni was arrested on August 19, 2024, two weeks after the Awami League was ousted from power.
