High Court in Bangladesh recently asked former State Minister for Textiles ABM Ruhul Amin Howlader to surrender in a trial court within two weeks in a corruption case.
Media reports maintained this adding the case was filed by former Bureau of Anti-Corruption (BAC) on charge of embezzling Taka 3.15 million even if the High Court bench of Justice Khizir Hayat and Justice Md Nazrul Isalm Talukder passed the order after hearing a revision petition filed by the ACC against a trial court order, which acquitted Ruhul Amin Howlader from the charge that has been brought against him.
As per the cased documents, the alleged embezzlement took place during the regime of HM Ershad’s Jatiya Party Government, when Howlader was State Minister for Textiles.
Assistant Director of the then BAC, Md Delwar Hossain, filed the case against Ruhul Amin Howlader on charge of embezzling Taka 3.15 million with the Tejgaon Police Station on 19 November 1991, reports further added.
