Confirming the matter, Sylhet Court Inspector Jamsed Alam told the media that former Justice Manik was brought to the court under tight security before the court proceedings started to show the arrest in the Kanighat case. At that time, when his lawyer applied for bail in this case, the court ordered bail.
