He surrendered to the court of Senior Judicial Magistrate Md Arifuzzaman on Tuesday. 

The court granted bail and exempted the Bangla daily's editor from physical appearance in court following a plea by the defence.

Earlier the same court had issued an arrest warrant for Rahman, as he had not turned up despite being summoned in a case accusing the Bangla daily of hurting religious sentiments.
