DHAKA, Bangladesh\u2014A student from the University of Toronto who was being held in relation to terrorist attacks in Bangladesh has been freed on bail, a family member confirmed Sunday.<\/p>\n

Tahmid Hasib Khan, a permanent resident of Canada, was detained in August under a Bangladesh law that allows police to hold someone without a warrant if there is a reasonable suspicion of criminal involvement. A family member and Bangladeshi media reported he was freed Sunday.<\/p>\n

The Dhaka Tribune reported on its website that Khan’s lawyer argued in a bail petition that his client could be freed because police have indicated there is no evidence that Khan was involved with terrorism.<\/p>\n

The newspaper reported that although Khan was granted bail, another court hearing was scheduled for Oct. 5 where police were expected to ask for court approval to file action against Khan on an allegation of not co-operating with investigators.<\/p>\n

Five armed gunmen attacked the Holey Artisan Bakery restaurant on the night of July 1, killing 20 people and holding others hostage.<\/p>\n

Security forces stormed the restaurant, killing the gunmen and rescuing the remaining 13 hostages.<\/p>\n

Nine Italians, seven Japanese, three Bangladeshis and one Indian died.<\/p>\n

Khan’s family and friends have said Khan was a survivor of the attack, and is not responsible. They said he was with friends at the bakery when the gunmen attacked.<\/p>\n

Another Canadian, who police in Bangladesh accused of masterminding the attack, was killed when officers raided a two story house near the capital Dhaka in August.<\/p>\n

Police alleged Tamim Chowdhury was the driving force behind both the cafe attack and another attack outside Dhaka later in July.<\/p>\n

It’s believed Chowdhury once lived in Windsor, Ont.<\/p>\n
