HC bars ex-AB Bank chief from flying abroad

The High Court has barred former AB Bank chairman M Wahidul Haque and ex-official Abu Hena Mustafa Kamal and issued a rule asking why their bails will not be scrapped.

The Anti-Corruption Commission arrested them along with businessman Saiful Haque on Jan 25 for their suspected involvement in laundering Tk 1.65 million.

They were produced before a Dhaka court the same day, when the court granted bail for the former bank officials.

The suo-moto order by Justice M Enayetur Rahim and Justice Shahidul Karim of the High Court came on Wednesday.

The judges also ordered the Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate’s Court to forward the case documents, reports bdnews24.

ACC counsel Khurshid Alam Khan told the media that the court issued the rule after taking into account the media reports over their arrest and bail.

The court has scheduled February 14 for the next hearing.
