Destiny director Didarul on remand

Lt Col (retd) Didarul Alam, a director of the controversial Destiny Group, was placed on an eight-day remand yesterday in a money-laundering case filed by the Anti-Corruption Commission.
Metropolitan Magistrate Tanvir Ahmed passed the order after ACC Deputy Director Mojahar Ali Sardar, also investigation officer of the case, produced him before a Dhaka court yesterday, seeking a 10-day remand.
Didarul, also a director of Destiny Agro Industries and chief executive officer of Destiny Builders, was arrested at Mohakhali on Saturday.
Meanwhile, the ACC yesterday filed a petition with the Supreme Court for a stay on the High Court order that granted two-month conditional bail to Destiny Group President Lt Gen (retd) M Harun-Ar-Rashid in two money-laundering cases.
Harun, who is shown as a director of the group in case documents, was released on Saturday.
ACC's lawyer Khurshid Alam Khan filed the petition, which might be heard today.
Earlier on Wednesday, Rafiqul Amin, chairman and managing director of the Destiny Group, and Mohammad Hossain, chairman of Destiny 2000 Ltd, were placed on an 18-day remand in two money-laundering cases.
They were being interrogated about the laundered money.
On October 11, a Dhaka court sent Harun, Rafiqul and Hossain to jail.
