Amassing wealth illegally: Court accepts charge sheet against OC Pradeep, wife
A Chattogram court today accepted the Anti-Corruption Commission's charge sheet against former Officer-in-charge (OC) of Teknaf Police Station Pradeep Kumar Das and his wife Chumki Karan on the charge of amassing wealth illegally.
The court of Metropolitan Sessions Judge Sheikh Ashfaqur Rahman accepted the charge sheet after rejecting Pradeep's bail prayer, said ACC's lawyer Mahmudul Haque.
It also issued an arrest warrant against Pradeep's wife Chumki Karan, who has been on the run since the case was filed, and imposed an order to confiscate the couple's wealth, said the lawyer.
ACC Assistant Director Riaz Uddin filed the case on August 23 last year against Chumki and Pradeep with its Chattogram office-1 over amassing wealth worth about Tk 3.95 crore.
The commission had begun an inquiry into the issue in 2018. Chumki and Pradeep were asked to submit a wealth statement on April 9, 2019. They submitted the statement on May 12, 2019.
Earlier on September 20 last year, a court had ordered to freeze all Pradeep's movable and immovable properties.
