SC dismisses bail prayers of Destiny Group MD

The Appellate Division of the Supreme Court on Sunday dismissed two separate petitions filed by Destiny Group Managing Director Md Rafiqul Amin seeking bail in two money laundering cases involving Tk 42.0 billion.

A four-member bench of the Appellate Division headed by Chief Justice Syed Mahmud Hossain delivered the dismissal orders after holding hearing on the petitions.

Advocate Khurshid Alam Khan who appeared in the court on behalf of the Anti Corruption Commission said that Rafiqul Amin cannot be released from jail following the SC order.

Lawyers Abdul Matin Khasru and Sayeed Ahmed appeared for Rafiqul Amin during the court proceedings.

On August 20, the HC bench of Justice Md Nazrul Islam Talukder and Justice Ahmed Sohel rejected the bail petitions of Rafiqul Amin as he did not pay any money to the government in line with the Appellate Division order passed earlier.
