A Rajshahi court yesterday rejected the bail prayer of district BNP's former general secretary Shish Mohammad in the Anti-Corruption Commission's (ACC) case accusing him of illegally amassing wealth worth over Tk 89 lakh. Abdul Karim, deputy director of Rajshahi ACC pressed charges against Shish Mohammad in April this year in connection with a case with Tanore police station. In the charges pressed under Section 27 (1) of the ACC Act of 2004, Karim alleged that Shish owns wealth around Tk 95 lakh, out of which Tk 89,47,607 were amassed beyond his legal sources of income. A close aide to former BNP minister Barrister Aminul Haque, Shish is now in jail. Both Aminul and Shish were convicted in a case for abetting militancy and given 31 and a half years imprisonment.
