Moudud indicted in 2007 graft case
A Dhaka court yesterday framed charges against former BNP law minister Barrister Moudud Ahmed in a corruption case filed during the regime of military-backed caretaker government.
Judge KM Imrul Kayes of the Special Judge Court-6 of Dhaka also fixed July 26 for recording statements from witnesses of the case filed by the Anti Corruption Commission.
At the same time, the court rejected an application filed by Moudud Ahmed, who was recently evicted from his Gulshan residence following a Supreme Court order, expressing no-confidence in Judge Imrul Kayes.
Contacted, Barrister Moudud told The Daily Star that the judge [Imrul Kayes] has framed charges against him in his absence and without asking him whether he is guilty or not.
On September 16, 2007, the ACC filed the case against Moudud with Gulshan Police Station on charge of amassing wealth beyond his known sources of income and withholding information about his assets.
