The party’s lawyers, leaders and activities welcomed him as he came out from Chandpur jail.  

Talking to media outside, Milon said, “Earlier I served 449 days jail and later served 68 days for the same case. I have nothing to say in this connection.”  

Chandpur Judicial Magistrate Judge Mohammad Shafiul Azam sent him to jail when police produced him before the court in three cases filed with Kachua police station on charge of extortion and theft.

Earlier November 23, 2018, detectives in a drive arrested Milon from a house at Chwakbazar area in Chattogram city early Friday.
