NSU graft case accused ‘goes missing’

Amin Mohammad Hilaly, managing director of Ashaloy Housing and Developers Ltd and an accused in the NSU graft case, has reportedly gone missing from Uttara.

His brother Rafiqul Islam Hilaly filed a general diary with Uttara West Police Station in this regard, said Shah Mohammad Akhtaruzzaman Elias, officer-in-charge of the police station.

According to Rafiqul, Amin left his house in Uttara Sector-11 for his office around 8:20pm on Friday. He went missing on the way. His phone was switched off after he reached Uttara Sector-12.

Rafiqul said he contacted Rab, DB, PBI and the ACC, but all of them said that they did not arrest him.

On May 5, the ACC filed a case against six people, including five members of North South University's board of trustees and Amin, over laundering about Tk 304 crore.

"My brother is accused in the NSU corruption case. It is alleged that my brother [Amin] had bribed the NSU trustees Tk 304 crore," Rafiqul said.

"I am also the director of Ashaloy Housing. We did not bribe anyone. We sold lands worth Tk 500 crore to the NSU trustees," he added.

Contacted, OC Elias said they were investigating the allegations.

Four other accused in the case -- MA Kashem, Benajir Ahmed, Rehana Rahman and Mohammed Shajahan -- were sent to jail.
