The court of Jhalakathi's Chief Judicial Magistrate Abdu Shamim Azad dropped the charges against him on Thursday.

The case accused him of obstructing official duties.

In 2013, the home ministry decided to withdraw the cases filed against Limon.

On Jul 29 last year, he was let-off from the case filed under the Arms Act.

RAB arrested Limon and shot him in the left leg after a so-called gunfight near his home at Saturia in the Rajapur Upazila of Jhalakathi on Mar 23, 2011, resulting in the amputation of the limb.

On the same day, RAB filed two cases with the Rajapur Police Station implicating Limon in an arms case and also accusing him of obstructing law enforcers from carrying out their duties.
