DHAKA, June 16, 2020 (BSS) – A court here today placed former Jubo League (JL) leader Khaled Mahmud Bhuiyan on three-day remand in a case lodged under the Money Laundering Prevention Act.
Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Ziaur Rahman showed Khaled arrested in the case and placed him on three-day remand after holding virtual hearing on CID’s plea in this regard.
Khaled, who is now behind bars at Kashimpur High Security Prison, was produced before the court virtually from the jail. Investigation officer and CID sub-inspector Rashedur Rahman pleaded to place Khaled on seven-day remand, while defence counsels argued to scrap the remand plea.
Inspector (unarmed) Md Ibrahim Hossain of Economic Crime Squad of CID filed the case against Khaled Mahmud Bhuiyan with Motijheel Police Station on June 7.
