Public Works Minister Mosharraf Hossain granted bail in graft case

Chittagong Metropolitan Session Judge Md Shahinur allowed the bail after hearing the plea from the minister’s lawyers, reports UNB.

The case was filed by the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC).

Earlier, the minister surrendered before the court following an order and sought bail.

On November 25, 2007, the ACC filed the case against Mosharraf on charge of amassing Tk3cr wealth and concealing information.

Following a writ petition, the HC on November 20, 2012 quashed the proceedings of the case against Mosharraf.

The Supreme Court on May 8, 2016 cleared the way for the ACC to resume investigation into the corruption case against him.

Later, the High Court directed the minister to surrender before the lower court.
