A Dhaka court has framed charges against BNP Standing Committee Member Khandaker Mosharraf Hossain in a case filed for allegedly siphoning off Tk9.54cr to England.
Judge M Ataur Rahman of Dhaka Special Judge's Court 1 passed the order after rejecting his discharge petition on Wednesday morning.
The court also fixed November 29 for recording the witness deposition.
ACC Director Nasim Anwar filed the money laundering case with Ramna police station against Mosharraf on February 2, 2014.
According to the case, Mosharraf concealed information about illegally amassing over £800,000, roughly equivalent to Tk95,395,380, by abusing his power as health minister during the 2001-2006 BNP government.
After the case had been filed, the former minister secured advance bail on February 10 from the High Court.
The anti-graft body then filed a petition with the Appellate Division, which later rejected his advance bail.
Khandaker Mosharraf was arrested on March 12 and is now in jail in connection with the case.
