ACC's Basir seeks bail, HC hearing tomorrow

A suspended director of the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC), Khandaker Enamul Basir, filed on Sunday a bail petition with the High Court in a Tk 4.0 million bribery case.

The petition might be heard tomorrow (Tuesday) at the HC bench of Justice Farid Ahmed and Justice ASM Abdul Mobin, said his lawyer MM Jamal Hossain.

In his prayer, Mr Basir claimed he was absolutely innocent and has not committed any offence as alleged by the prosecution.

"He is a victim of circumstance and he had no knowledge of the incident. He has been falsely implicated in the case…," reads the petition.

Earlier on July 23, a special court here rejected his bail plea. He then filed a similar prayer with the HC.
