Money laundering: Now nephew of PK Halder’s lawyer remanded
A Dhaka court today placed Ashim Kumar Mistry, nephew of PK Halder's lawyer Sukumar Mridha, on a three-day remand in a case filed over amassing and laundering Tk 20.7 crore.
Judge KM Emrul Kayesh of the Senior Special Judge's Court of Dhaka passed the order after Md Salahuddin, a deputy director of Anti-Corruption Commission and also investigation officer of the case, produced him with a three-day remand prayer.
In the remand prayer, the IO said Sukumar sent a huge amount of money, earned from different illegal means, to Ashim who lives in Pirojpur. With that money, Ashim bought over 3,000 decimals of land at different places in Pirojpur's Nazirpur.
As such Ashim needs to be remanded to get more information, the IO added.
However, no lawyer represented him in court.
After the hearing, the judge ordered Ashim to be taken to Dhaka Central Jail in Keraniganj.
Earlier yesterday, a team of ACC led by Md Salauddin, arrested Ashim from Segunbagicha area after a case was filed against him and four others with its Integrated District Office-1 of Dhaka.
Proshanta Kumar Halder alias PK Halder is the principal accused in the case. PK Halder is the former managing director of NRB Global Bank and Reliance Finance.
According to Canadian media reports, PK Halder is now in Toronto. He is director of P&L Hal Holding Inc, a Canadian Corporation.
