Sigma Huda, daughters get anticipatory bail

The High Court yesterday granted anticipatory bail to former BNP minister Nazmul Huda’s wife Sigma Huda and their two daughters -- Antara Selima Huda and Srabanti Amina Huda -- for eight weeks in two separate money laundering cases involving Tk 6.73 crore.

The HC also ordered the three to surrender before the trial court concerned in eight weeks in connection with the cases filed by the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC).

The bench of Justice Obaidul Hassan and Justice AKM Zahirul Huq came up with the orders after hearing two petitions filed by the accused.
