A Dhaka court has granted bail to BNP’s Senior Vice-Chairman Tarique Rahman’s mother-in-law Syeda Iqbal Mand Banu in a case filed for not submitting wealth statement as asked by the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC).
Dhaka Metropolitan Session Judge Mohammad Kamrul Hossain Molla passed the order Sunday afternoon.
Earlier in the day, Sayeda surrendered before the court and sought bail.
The same court had issued an arrest warrant against her on April 12.
ACC submitted the charge sheet against Syeda Iqbal on January 20, 16.
The case was filed with Ramna police on January 30, 2014.
Syeda Iqbal was served notice on January 25, 2012 to submit her wealth statement to the commission but she acquired a stay order from the High Court.
After the ACC challenged the High Court order, the Appellate Division stayed the order on September 26, 2013.
Following the order, the ACC was free to collect her wealth statement, particularly to investigate the wealth of Tarique Rahman.
However, without complying with the court order and the commission’s notice, she appealed for fresh inquiry.
In response, the ACC said Syeda Iqbal could file an objection at the court against the commission’s move.
