The Criminal Investigation Department (CID) today pressed charges against expelled Jubo League's Dhaka South Organising Secretary Khalid Mahmud Bhuiyan and five others in connection with a money laundering case.

The others accused are: Khalid's two brothers Masud Mahmud Bhuiyan and Hassan Mahmud Bhuiyan and his accomplices Harunur Rashid, Shahdat Hossain Uzzal and Mohammad Ullah Khan.

Of them, Khalid and Mohammad Ullah are now in jail, while the rest are on the run.

Inspector of CID Mohammad Ibrahim, also the investigation officer of the case, submitted the charge sheet against them to the Chief Metropolitan Magistrate's Court of Dhaka.

The IO appealed to the court to issue arrest warrants against the four as they were shown as fugitives in the case charge sheet.

In the charge sheet, the IO said Khalid had visited different countries on different occasions without endorsing foreign currencies in his passport. During his travels, he laundered a huge amount of foreign currencies, the IO said in his charge sheet.

Khalid has a company named M/S Orpon Traders (Ptv) Limited at Jurang East in Singapore City where Khalid deposited a huge amount of money and the money was laundered through hundi, the charge sheet said.

The IO found over 20 lakh Thai Baht in an account with Bangkok Bank in Thailand. Mohammad Ullah confessed to a magistrate during the investigation of the case where he revealed the offences of Khalid.

RAB arrested Khalid from his Gulshan residence on September 18 last year. Police seized one shotgun, two pistols, 57 rounds of shotgun bullets, 53 rounds of pistol bullets and 585 pieces of yaba pills from his residence.

Later five cases, including a money laundering case, were filed against Khalid with Gulshan and Motijheel police stations. He was remanded for several days in the cases.

Earlier, police pressed charges against him in the cases filed under the Arms and Narcotics Control Acts.
