Tarique remanded for one day in graft case

---

A Dhaka court placed Thursday Tarique Rahman, elder son of former prime minister Khaleda Zia, on one day's remand in a case filed by the Anti-corruption Commission (ACC), reports bdnews24.com.
Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate (CMM) Md Golam Rabbani gave the order after ACC Assistant Director Md Toufiqul Alam had appealed to the court to place Tarique on remand for questioning in connection with his submitted wealth statement.
Alam, the investigating officer (IO) in the case, had earlier produced the accused at the Dhaka CMM court on December 2 requesting one week's remand.
As the case files could not be produced before the court on that date, the magistrate deferred the remand hearing.
