Officer-in-Charge of Gulshan Police Station Mohamamd Obaidul Haque, who is the investigation officer (IO), submitted the charge sheet to the Court of Chief Metropolitan Magistrate, Dhaka, showing 10 people as prosecution witnesses.

On April 13, the joint forces detained influential BNP leader and former lawmaker Moudud Ahmed raiding his Gulshan residence in the capital.

The crack forces also seized 220 saris which police said are of government relief fund for the poor, and some documents including money receipts for different items.

Later, a case was filed against Moudud, a member of the BNP Standing Committee, under Section 25 (B) of the Special Powers Act, 1974 for bringing the foreign liquors, evading government tax.

In the charge sheet, the IO mentioned that the charges brought against Moudud were primarily proved and he should be brought to justice.

Following his arrest, Moudud was taken on a four-day remand for interrogation about smuggling in contraband foreign liquors and possessing those.

On March 25, the National Board of Revenue directed banks to freeze the accounts of Moudud Ahmed and his wife.

Moudud served as a minister in three cabinets since the country's independence in 1971. He served autocrat HM Ershad's government both as a prime minister and a vice-president.
