CID seeks 3-day remand for ex-Jubo League leader Samrat
Criminal Investigation Department (CID) today submitted a three-day remand prayer for quizzing expelled Jubo League leader Ismail Hossain Chowdhury Samrat, one of the "casino kingpins", in Dhaka and his close aide in a Tk 195 crore money laundering case.
Md Mehedi Maksud, an inspector of CID and also the investigation officer of the case, submitted the petition with the Chief Metropolitan Magistrate's Court of Dhaka.
Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Abu Bakar Siddique fixed April 4 for hearing the remand prayer in presence of Samrat and his aide Enamul Haque Arman.
The magistrate directed the jail authorities to produce them before it on that date.
On September 13 last year, CID filed the case against the duo under the Money Laundering Act with Ramna Police Station.
In the case, it was alleged that Samrat siphoned off Tk 195 crore to Singapore and Malaysia illegally, with the help of his aide Enamul.
On October 6, 2019, Rapid Action Battalion arrested Samrat, who was the president of Dhaka South unit of Jubo League, and Arman, former vice-president of the same unit, from Cumilla after raiding a house near the Indian border.
He came under the spotlight after Rab busted his illegal casino business at different sporting clubs in Dhaka and was later expelled from Jubo League following his arrest.
