A Dhaka court yesterday sent Ashrafunessa Alo, a senior security officer of Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport, to jail in a gold smuggling case.
Dhaka Metropolitan Sessions Judge Md Juhurul Haque passed the order after Ashrafunessa surrendered before his court with a bail prayer.
The prayer was rejected and she was sent to jail.
Ashrafunessa is one of 19 individuals indicted for gold smuggling on July 31 last year. Another accused, Mirza Foyes Ahmed, surrendered on October 21 and was subsequently jailed.
Of the people indicted, eight are currently in prison while the rest still at large.
The case was filed after 13.5kg gold was seized at a toilet in the airport on September 11, 2012.
