A Dhaka court on Wednesday sent former Upazila Chairman Laila Kaniz, wife of former member of National Board of Revenue (NBR) Matiur Rahman, to jail in a graft case filed by the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC), reports BSS.
Dhaka Metropolitan Sessions Judge Md Zakir Hossain Galib passed the order as police produced her before the court and ACC Assistant Director Md Ismail pleaded to place her on a seven-day remand in the case.
The court also set January 19 for holding hearing on the remand plea.
The ACC official, in his remand plea, said the accused being a government employee was involved in buying and selling of huge number of placement shares by misuse of her power and forgery. The ACC need to know whether any other person is involved in the transaction and her amassment of illegal wealth too should be probed, it added.
