The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) has started quizzing Abantika Baral, girlfriend of Prashanta Kumar Halder alias PK Halder.
On 13 January, Dhaka Metropolitan Sessions Judge KM Imrul Kayesh granted a three-day remand for Abantika after she was being produced in court by the ACC.
A team of the anti-graft body detained her the same day from the capital's Dhanmondi area. After her arrest, Abantika was first kept in the ACC custody.
On January 8 in 2020, the ACC filed a case against PK Halder on charges of amassing about Tk 275 crore beyond his known sources of income.
PK Halder is facing an allegation of embezzling over Tk10,000 crore, which he took out as loan from different financial institutions in the name of companies owned by him and his family members.
Halder fled the country after the accusations surfaced.
The International Criminal Police Organization, commonly known as the Interpol, has issued a red notice against PK Halder following a request from Bangladesh Police.
