Dhaka, Dec 01 - Journalist Munni Saha has been released from the custody of the Detective Branch, just hours after being detained from Karwan Bazar in the capital on Saturday night.

Quoting Rezaul Karim Mallick, additional commissioner (DB) of the Dhaka Metropolitan Police, The Daily Star reported that Munni was released under the obscure Section 497 of the CrPC.
It means she must appear in court to seek bail and comply with future police summons.

He said that Munni Saha faces several cases in Dhaka.
