Judge Ruhul Amin granted the interim bail on a bond of Tk 50,000 on Sunday when the couple surrendered to the court after an earlier bail expired, their lawyer Abul Kalam Azad said.
The High Court had given them a four-week bail on Nov 14.
Shamarukh was declared dead on Nov 13 after being taken to the Central Hospital from the ex-MP's Dhanmondi residence.
Her in-laws claimed she had committed suicide but her family blamed her husband Humayun Sultan Shadab and his parents for the ‘murder’.
Shamarukh’s father Nurul Islam accused the three in a murder case on Nov 13.
