Former prime minister Khaleda Zia drove straight to her husband's grave after being released on bail Wednesday after one year in detention.
Deputy inspector general of prisons Major Shamsul Haider Siddiqui said at 11.30am today that the BNP chief was now free to go home.
Senior BNP leaders had already arrived at the grave to greet their chief.
Hundreds shouted slogans as her heavily guarded cream colour Pajero reached the grave complex.
Thousands also thronged the Sangsad Bhaban premises when she left the special jail flanked by daughter in law Zubaida Rahman and granddaughter Zaima.
Siddiqui had earlier said the authorities had received the documents at 6:45 pm yesterday, and she would be freed anytime today.
Bail bonds for former prime minister Khaleda Zia were submitted by lawyers earlier Wednesday to four separate courts handling the GATCO, Niko, Zia Orphanage Trust and Barapukuria cases.
Khaleda and her son Arafat Rahman Coco were arrested on Sept 3 last year in GATCO graft case.
Later, three more graft cases were filed against her. She secured bail in all the cases.
