Ahmed Ibrahim Fulfills Promise: Anubrata Mondal Granted Bail Before Durga Puja!
Baby Chakraborty, KalimNews, September 24, 2024, Calcutta: In a moment of triumph and emotion, lawyer Ahmed Ibrahim successfully secured bail for his client, Anubrata Mondal, just in time for the Durga Puja celebrations. Known for his unwavering dedication, Ibrahim has been a steadfast advocate for Mondal, who has faced a long and arduous legal battle.
Mondal, affectionately known as Kesto, emerged from jail wearing a yellow-grey T-shirt, visibly emotional after a year and a half of legal struggles. His daughter, Sukanya Mondal, who had previously been released on bail, was there to greet him as he stepped out. For the first time in many months, Kesto walked out on his own, having previously arrived at court in a wheelchair.
The reunion between father and daughter was poignant, with emotional hugs exchanged as they embraced their newfound freedom. Following his release, Kesto was seen leaving for a hotel near the airport, where he shared a heartfelt moment with Ibrahim, both of them in tears.
Ahmed Ibrahim expressed his commitment to his client during the process, stating that he promised Kesto he would bring him home before the 2024 Durga Puja festivities. “I kept my promise,” he told the media, highlighting his determination throughout the lengthy court proceedings.
Mondal’s journey to freedom follows a tumultuous period, having been arrested by the CBI in August 2022 in connection with a cow smuggling case, and later detained again by the Enforcement Directorate. Despite the challenges, Kesto remained resilient, and today he is looking forward to reuniting with family and friends to celebrate the upcoming festivities.
This victory is not just a personal triumph for Kesto and his family but also a reminder of the perseverance and dedication of those who fight for justice. As Durga Puja approaches, the significance of this moment is felt deeply within the community, marking a new chapter for Anubrata Mondal.
