Court rejects Samrat's bail again
Friday, 29 April 2022
A Dhaka court on Thursday scrapped detained ex-Jubo League leader Ismail Hossain Chowdhury Samrat's bail plea for the second time as he is exposed to for bail in a case filed against him by the Anti Corruption Commission (ACC), reports BSS.
Judge Asad Mohammad Asifuzzaman of Dhaka Special Judge Court-6 passed the order on Thursday as the lawyers pleaded for bail on behalf of the accused over his 'poor' health ground.
Earlier on March 31, the court fixed April 13 for the bail hearing in the presence of Samrat. Later on April 13, the bail plea was denied.
On November 12, 2019, the ACC filed the case against him after investigations alleging that the former leader of the ruling Awami League's youth body acquired assets worth about Taka 20.95 million beyond his known income sources.
Deputy Director of the ACC and Investigating Officer Jahangir Alam presented the charge-sheet before the Metropolitan Sessions Court on November 26, 2020.
The Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) arrested Samrat in a predawn raid from a village in Cumilla's Chauddagram upazila on October 6, 2019.
