Warrants issued to arrest 2 QC brothers

A Dhaka court yesterday issued arrest warrants against two brothers of BNP leader Salauddin Quader Chowdhury in connection with a case over bouncing cheque.
Metropolitan Magistrate Konika Bishwas passed the order, as Giasuddin Quader Chowdhury and Saifuddin Quader Chowdhury, the accused, did not appear before it yesterday as per the court order.
The issuance followed the complainant's lawyer Dewan Abdur Rahim's submission of a prayer which sought an arrest warrant against all three accused.
Dewan in the prayer said the accused did not comply with the order even though summonses were duly served to them on September 9.
The court also directed the officer-in-charge of Motijheel Police Station to submit a report on implementation of the arrest warrants by January 3, 2011.
Mizanur Rahman, managing partner of Fein International Company Ltd, filed the case against three brothers of SQ Chowdhury with the Chief Metropolitan Magistrate's Court on May 20.
The court did not issue arrest warrant against Samir Quader Chowdhury, another accused of the case, as summons is not yet served to him.
According to the case, Saifuddin and Giasuddin, chairman and managing director of Dhaka Dyeing and Manufacturing Company, had made an agreement with Mizanur Rahman and bought products worth Tk 15 lakh on credit from Fein ltd.
After a period of delay, Giasuddin, on September 30 last year, had given a cheque for Tk 15 lakh to the company to withdraw the amount from Dutch-Bangla Bank (online).
But the cheque bounced when Mizanur deposited it in his account with Shahjalal Bank Ltd.
