Moudud shown held in another graft case

Detained former BNP minister barrister Moudud Ahmed was shown arrested yesterday in a new case filed on the same day on charges of stashing away Tk 2.2 crore in a bank through forged documents.
Earlier on Monday, the High Court had granted Moudud bail in the last of the three cases filed against him. The new case blocked his release.
Inspector Lutfor Rahman of Taskforce 21 filed the latest case with Motijheel Police Station at about 4:30pm yesterday, under sections 424, 463, 464, 468 and 471 of the Bangladesh Penal Code and section 16/2 of the Emergency Power Rules (EPR), sources said.
According to the case statement, Moudud encashed five fixed deposit receipts (FDR) worth Tk 1 crore, 95 lakh, 10 lakh, 10 lakh and 5 lakh in February and March last year from the Motijheel branch of IFIC Bank and then deposited the money against 36 phoney names in the same bank in a bid to conceal it.
The former minister faked documents in this regard, it said.
Sub-inspector Ejaz Shafi at Motijheel Police Station, who is acting as the investigation officer, told The Daily Star that they could not trace any of the 36 people against whom the money was deposited.
"In fact, all the 36 names are fake; documents were forged to deposit the money against them," he said.
Moudud was arrested at his Gulshan residence on April 13 last year with 16 bottles of foreign liquor, 32 cans of beer and 220 pieces of sari belonging to the government relief fund.
