Gazipur's Kashimpur Jail Superintendent Mizanur Rahman said the BNP leader was freed at around 2:30pm on Tuesday after the bail order reached the prison authorities.
 
The High Court on Sunday granted him bail following his appeal against a trial court's order to send him to jail.
 
Police on Mar 20 formally pressed charges in court in the case of sabotage filed on Dec 30, 2013.
 
Roy had gone to the trial court seeking bail on Nov 4. But it had refused and sent him to jail.
