Another AL front chief removed
Swechchhasebak League President Molla Abu Kawser has been relieved of the post, Awami League General Secretary Obaidul Quader said yesterday.
The message was conveyed to Kawser, he said while talking to reporters after an extended meeting of Dhaka North City AL in Dhanmondi.
Swechchhasebak League is the volunteers’ wing of the AL.
Quader, also the road transport and bridges minister, made the comment a day after the National Board of Revenue (NBR) asked different commercial banks to freeze all accounts of Kawser, his wife Parveen Luna, daughter Nujhat Nadia Nila, and his business entity Fine Power Solution Limited.
The NBR issued the order in its bid to look into their tax compliance.
The banks were asked to provide within seven days the details of their accounts since July 2012, sources at the NBR said.
According to police documents, Molla Abu Kawser is also the president of Dhaka Wanderers Club, which is among the clubs that had been closed on charges of running illegal casinos following the start of law enforcement agencies’ drive against illegal casino business in the city.
Several top leaders of Jubo League and Krishak League were arrested after the drive began on September 17. They are now facing investigations for their alleged involvement in various irregularities and corruption.
Last week, the NBR asked banks to freeze the accounts of recently removed Jubo League boss Omar Faruk Chowdhury, his wife, three sons and two business entities: Lake View Properties and RAO Construction Ltd, according to source.
Since September 17, RAB and police have raided different clubs across the country, busting illegal casino business.
