Salman, Sohel cleared of 2 fraud cases

A Dhaka court Sunday cleared businessmen Salman F Rahman and Sohel F Rahman of funds embezzlement in two cases after the plaintiffs said that they had got their money back. Magistrate Al Mamun of the Chief Metropolitan Magistrate's Court for Dhaka delivered the verdict Sunday afternoon in presence of Salman. His brother Sohel F Rahman, who had been on the run, was also relieved of the charges. Salman, chairman of Shinepukur Holdings Ltd, would not be released from jail anytime soon, as he faced other cases, a court official said. Abu Mohammad Sayeed, a resident of Jhigatola in the city, filed a case against them on March 19.
