Enamul remanded in Tk 21cr graft case

A Dhaka court yesterday placed Enamul Haque Enu, a director of Wanderer’s Club and vice-president of Gendaria thana unit of Awami League, on a four-day remand in connection with a graft case.

Judge KM Emrul Kayesh of the Senior Special Judge’s Court passed the order after investigation officer of the case Mamunur Rashid Chowdhury, an assistant director of Anti-Corruption Commission, produced Enamul with a seven-day remand prayer.

In the remand prayer, the IO said Enamul amassed Tk 21.89 crore through illegal activities beyond scope of his income.

Earlier on January 19, Enamul’s brother Rupan Bhuiyan, also a director of the club and joint general secretary of Gendaria thana unit of AL, was remanded for five days in connection with a graft case.

On January 13, CID arrested the brothers from Keraniganj, along with one of their accomplices Sheikh Sunny Mostofa. They had been living in the flat after failing to flee the country with forged passports, CID sources said.

The brothers had gone into hiding after law enforcers launched a crackdown on illegal casinos and graft last year. Wanderers Club was raided by Rab on September 18, the first day of the crackdown.

On January 14, the two were placed on four-day remand each in two money laundering cases.

Earlier in November last year, the ACC filed two graft cases for the brothers’ alleged involvement in amassing wealth through illegal means.
