Money laundering charges have been filed against suspended Chattogram Central Jail's jailer Sohel Rana Biswas, his wife Hosne Ara Popy and three other businessmen by the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC).
Sohel has been in Kishoreganj district jail since he was arrested with deposit receipts of Tk 2.50 crore and Tk 44.43 lakh in cash on his way to home in Kishoreganj from Chattogram by a train on October 27, 2018.
Ex-Ctg jailor Sohel, wife implicated in money laundering charges
His wife and–businessmen Rafiqul Hasan, Rubel Biswas and Tawhid Tunnu –were implicated in the charge sheet.
ACC lawyer Khurshid Alam Khan said that the charges were pressed on Thursday after the Appellate Division's chamber judge on Monday rebuked the ACC for its failure to submit the charge sheet within six months as directed by High Court on April 29, 2019.
Khurshid said that the charge sheet would be placed before the chamber judge on June 30 during the hearing of the ACC's application seeking extension of a stay order on Sohel's bail.
The online HC bench of Justice Md Nazrul Islam Talukder granted Sohel bail on June 16 as the ACC failed to submit the charge sheet earlier.
