Tofayel Ahmed Joseph, one of the top criminals in the police list of the 1990s, has been “secretly” freed from jail after a presidential clemency that cut short his life sentence for murder.

Joseph, brother of a former director general of Border Guard Bangladesh, on Sunday left Dhaka Medical College Hospital, where he was “being treated”.

“The president pardoned him. We released him upon receiving the order,” Jahangir Kabir, senior jail superintendent of Dhaka Central Jail in Keraniganj, told The Daily Star yesterday.

While his whereabouts are not known, Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan yesterday told reporters that Joseph was supposed to leave the country for medical treatment.

In December 2012, another infamous criminal Bikash Kumar Biswas got out of Kashimpur Jail-2 on bail and fled the country.

Law enforcers believe he runs organised crime rackets from abroad.
