BNP standing committee member Khandaker Mosharraf Hossain has to remain in prison as the Appellate Division yesterday stayed his bail in a money-laundering case.
Following the pleas of state and Anti-Corruption Commission, a five-member apex court bench led by its Chief Justice Md Muzammel Hossain halted the former health minister’s bail till September 2. The petitioners were asked to file petitions against the High Court verdict, seeking the top court’s permission.
On July 9, the HC bench of Justice Md Rezaul Haque and Justice Gobinda Chandra Tagore gave the BNP leader conditional bail.
The HC also stipulated conditions that the accused was prohibited from going abroad.
On February 6, the ACC filed a money-laundering case against Khandaker Mosharraf, alleging that the BNP leader laundered around Tk9.53 crore to different countries when he was the minister for Health and Family Planning from 2001 to 2006.
