Court orders to surrender Khoka's son, daughter



The High Court on Thursday ordered former Dhaka mayor and BNP leader Sadeque Hossain Khoka's son and daughter to surrender before lower courts within four weeks in a case filed by the Anti Corruption Commission (ACC) for not submitting wealth statement.

An HC bench of Justice Md Nazrul Islam Talukdar and Justice KM Hafizul Alam passed the order rejecting their bail petitions.  
The ACC's  assistant director Md Shamsul Alam filed the case with Ramna Police Station on August 29 and 30 in 2010, as Khoka's son Ishrak Hossain and daughter Sarika Sadeque as they did not submit their wealth statement timely.

Ishrak got BNP ticket for Dhaka-9 to contest in the 11th general election.

Barrister Ajmalul Hossain QC and lawyer Md Saifullah Mamun stood for the siblings.

According to the case statement, the ACC in an inquiry found the siblings accumulated illegal wealth worth about Tk 5 crore.

On September 1, 2008, the anti-graft watchdog asked them to submit their wealth statements within seven days. But, they failed to do so.
