Samrat denied bail in graft case

A Dhaka court has turned down the bail petition of expelled Jubo League leader Ismail Hossain Chowdhury Samrat in a graft case filed by the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC), reports UNB.
Al Asad Md Asifuzzaman, Judge of Dhaka Special Judge Court-6, rejected the bail petition filed by Samrat's counsel Ehsanul Haque Shomaji on Wednesday.
During the hearing, Samrat's counsel told the court that Samrat had undergone bypass surgery in 1996. "He is very ill and has no chance to flee the country."
On the other hand, ACC Public Prosecutor Mosharraf Hossain Kajal opposed the bail.
Now, Samrat will not be able to walk out of jail due to the judgment, said Samrat's counsel.
Earlier, he secured bail in drugs case on Monday and in an arms case and a money laundering case on Sunday.
