Graft case: Charges framed against ex-OC Pradeep, wife

A Chattogram court today framed charges against suspended officer-in-charge (OC) of Cox's Bazar's Teknaf Police Station Pradeep Kumar Das and his wife Chumki Karan in a case filed by the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) on charge of accumulating wealth illegally.

Chattogram Divisional Special Court Judge Munsi Abdul Mazid framed the charges in presence of Pradeep at the courtroom while his wife is on the run.

Earlier in the day, Pradeep was brought to the court from Chattogram Central Jail amid tight security.

ACC's lawyer Mahmudul Haque told this correspondent that the court accepted the charge sheet against the couple on September 1.

Police earlier arrested Pradeep in a case filed over Major (retd) Sinha Md Rashed Khan murder. A Cox's Bazar court framed charges against 15 accused, Pradeep, in the murder case.
