GBNEWS24DESK//
A Dhaka court has framed charges against five persons, including expelled Jubo Mohila League leader Shamima Noor Papia and her husband Mafizur Rahman alias Sumon Chowdhury in a Tk 3.23 crore money laundering case filed at Gulshan Police Station.
The three other accused are Papia’s associates Sabbir Khandaker, Sheikh Tayiba Noor and Zubair Alam.
Of them, Papia, Sumon, Sabbir and Tayiba were earlier arrested and they are now in jail custody while Zubair Alam was shown “fugitive” in the charge sheet.
The four, now in jail, pleaded not guilty and demanded justice after Badrul Alam Bhuiyan of the Special Judge’s Court-8 of Dhaka read out the charges to them.
Charges were framed against Zubair Alam in absentia and arrest warrant was issued against him.
The judge fixed September 25 for starting trial of the case.
On October 10 last year, Md Ibrahim Hossain, an inspector of Criminal Investigation Department (CID) and also the investigation officer (IO) of the case, submitted a charge against them.
CID Inspector Md Moniruzzaman filed the case against them with Gulshan Police Station under the Money Laundering Control Act on March 21 of 2020.
