Papia, husband remanded in graft case

A Dhaka court yesterday placed Jubo Mohila League's suspended leader Shamima Nur Papia and her husband Mofizur Rahman Sumon on a three-day remand each in a case filed for amassing about Tk 6.24 crore illegally.

Judge KM Emrul Kayesh of Senior Special Judge's Court of Dhaka passed the order after ACC Deputy Director Shahin Ara Momta produced them before the court. In the remand prayer, Momta said the couple amassed money illegally and needed to be remanded to find sources of the wealth.

On August 4, ACC filed the case against the couple.

On October 12, the two were jailed for 20 years in another case filed for possessing illegal firearms.
