HC clears way for graft case against former RPGCL boss

The High Court yesterday cleared the way for resuming a corruption case filed against ABM Fazle Elahi, former managing director of Rupantarita Prakritic Gas Company Limited (RPGCL).
The Anti-Corruption Commission filed the case with Khilkhet Police Station on March 11, 2008 against Elahi and five other RPGCL officials over misappropriating state money worth Tk 9.75 crore from the Marine CNG Pilot Project at Aricha-Daulatdia Ferryghat.
The HC yesterday vacated its earlier order that had stayed the proceeding of the case against Elahi in 2009.
The court delivered the verdict after rejecting a petition submitted by Elahi in 2009 for quashing the proceedings of the case.
