Prosecutor Mohammad Yunus said the court granted him bail considering his age and the ongoing annual examination schedule.
On 26 November, a team of Teknaf Model Police Station conducted a drive at the house of Rezaul Karim, a panel chairman of Hnila Union Parishad but he managed to flee.
Locals said they picked up Rafi failing to arrest his father.
Police claimed they detained Rafi along with arms.
Later, Rafi was charged under the Arms Act and sent to the Child Development Centre by the court.
