Anjan Chy gets anticipatory bail

The High Court on Monday granted anticipatory bail to Anjan Chowdhury, one of the key stakeholders of the Square Group, for six weeks in a case filed on charge of hoarding 4812 tonnes of extra aromatic rice in a warehouse at Gopalganj Bazar in Dinajpur Sadar upazila.

The High Court bench of Justice Jahangir Hossain and Justice Shahed Nuruddin passed the order after hearing an anticipatory bail petition filed by Anjan Chowdhury.

Barrister Shafique Ahmed and Barrister Mahbub Shafique appeared in the court hearing on behalf of Anjan Chowdhury.

A mobile court run by the upazila administration of Dinajpur Sadar on June 1 launched an operation and found hoarding of 5,124 tonnes of aromatic rice in a warehouse of the Square Food and Beverage Limited. But the company has permission to stock only 312 tonnes of rice which means they hoarded extra 4812 tonnes of rice.

Later Biplob Kumar Singh Roy, Food Control Officer of Dinajpur Sadar, filed a case with Dinajpur Police Station against Square Food and Beverage Limited's owner Aanjan Chowdhury and another one for hoarding extra 4,812 tonnes rice.
