Amassing wealth illegally: Court rejects Pradeep’s bail prayer
Also orders freezing moveable, immoveable assets of Pradeep's wife
A Chattogram court today rejected the bail prayer of former Officer-in-Charge (OC) of Teknaf Police Station Pradeep Kumar Das, accused in Major (retd) Sinha Md Rashed Khan murder case, in a case filed against him by Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) for amassing wealth illegally.
The court of Metropolitan Session Judge Ashfaqur Rahman passed the order after Pradeep's lawyer placed his bail prayer before the court, said ACC public prosecutor Mahmudul Haque, reports our staff correspondent.
The court also ordered the jail authority to take necessary steps as per jail code after his lawyer also pleaded for his medical treatment and visitation of family members, he said.
Following a plea from the investigation officer of the case-- ACC Assistant Director Riaz Uddin--the court also ordered to freeze movable and immovable properties of Pradeep's wife Chumki Karan, as mentioned in the FIR until further notice.
ACC lawyer Advocate Kazi Sanawar Hossain Lavlu confirmed the matter to The Daily Star.
Riaz Uddin told The Daily Star "we appealed before the court to seize the properties after we came to learn that they are trying to hand over the money and their properties to others."
