Maulana Masud received Tk 1cr from UK, ME


Moulana Fariduddin Masud received Tk 1 crore through his account at Sonali Bank, the bank reported to the Bangladesh Bank (BB) yesterday.

The central bank had sought the reports from all banks by September 10 but Sonali Bank gave it yesterday as the deadline expired on the weekend.

Sonali Bank sources said that through their bank, $100 was sent from a Middle East bank in 2003 and 75,000 pound sterling from Net West Bank of London in March 2005 to Premier Bank's Gulshan branch for Masud's organisation.

Masud, arrested on August 22 at Zia International Airport for alleged links to the August 17 bomb blasts across the country, is in jail custody since September 2 on expiry of remand twice.
