On 15 June, the High Court granted her interim bail in three cases – a murder case and an attempted murder case filed with Ashulia Police Station, and a murder case filed with Mirpur Model Police Station.
The state subsequently appealed against the bail orders.
Momtaz was arrested by the Dhaka Metropolitan Police's Detective Branch (DB) from a residence in Dhanmondi on 12 May 2025, following the fall of the Awami League government during the student-led mass uprising on 5 August 2024.
She was produced before a court the following day and sent to jail.
Several cases, including murder charges, have been filed against her with different police stations in Dhaka.
