Bashundhara chief gets bail
The High Court yesterday granted anticipatory bail for four months to Bashundhara Group Chairman Ahmed Akbar Sobhan Shah Alam and four others in two separate cases.
The cases were filed against Shah Alam and some others on December 27 last year and May 7 this year on charges of misappropriating over Tk 3 crore from a businessman in Dhaka and for grabbing land in South Keraniganj.
Earlier in June this year, two separate magistrate courts in Dhaka issued arrest warrants against the accused, including the Bashundhara group chief.
The HC bench of Justice Siddiqur Raman Miah and Justice KM Kamrul Kader granted the bail to the five accused after holding hearing on two separate bail petitions filed by them (the accused).
Advocate Ahsanul Karim appeared for the petitioners, while Deputy Attorney General KM Zahid Sarwar Kazal opposed the bail prayers.
