Indian national arrested for misappropriating Tk 1.4cr from bank account
Criminal Investigation Department yesterday arrested Anju Kapoor, who allegedly drove out her two stepdaughters from her Gulshan residence in October, on charges of "misappropriating" Tk 1.40 crore from her husband's bank account.
Sheikh Omar Faruque, additional deputy inspector general (Dhaka Metro) of CID said they arrested the woman from the Gulshan residence around 8am. The arrestee withdrew money from the account of her husband Mostafa Jaglul Wahid on October 11 last year -- a day after Jaglul died, said Khalidul Howlader, a special superintendent of CID.
Anju, an Indian national, was once employed as house help in Jaglul's house. The man later married her.
She had a mandate to run the account but he concealed the news of her husband's death in order to withdraw the money. After Jaglul's death, his inherent was supposed to get the money, he said.
Mushfika Mostafa, a daughter of Jaglul earlier filed a case with Gulshan Police Station in December last year, bringing the allegations of misappropriating the money.
"We have found proof of the allegation brought against Anju during primary investigation," Khalidul added.
Earlier, Jaglul's two daughters -- Mushfika and Mobashshera – took position in front of their house, alleging that their Anju was not allowing them enter their paternal home in Gulshan, following their father's death.
Learning the incident through media, a high court bench of Justice Md Nazrul Islam Talukder and Justice Ahmed Sohel held a virtual hearing at night and ordered the OC of Gulshan Police Station to ensure that the girls were allowed to enter the house with police protection.
Deputy Attorney General AKM Amin Uddin Manik yesterday informed the High Court bench about the arrest of the Anju.
