Documents related to the share transfer of Transcom Group Limited, which were seized from the office of the Registrar of Joint Stock Companies and Firms (RJSC), were found to have been prepared using fake non-judicial stamps.
This information was revealed in reports submitted by the Postal Department and the Dhaka District Commissioner’s Office in court on Thursday.
The reports were presented in the court of Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Sharifur Rahman.
A hearing was held regarding a forensic examination of the signature of Shahzreh Huq, the younger daughter of Transcom Group’s late founder Latifur Rahman, on the two non-judicial stamps.
The application for forensic examination, filed by the investigating officer, Sub-Inspector Sazedur Rahman of PBI, was rejected by the court.
The charges stem from three separate cases filed on February 22 by Shahzreh Huq.
She sued her elder sister, the current Transcom Group CEO Simeen Rahman and mother, Shahnaz Rahman, and Simeen's son Zaraif Ayaat Hossain, Transcom's head of transformation for trying to embezzle assets worth around Tk10,000 crore using fake documents.
According to the case statements, Latifur Rahman had left Tk100 crore in FDRs in several banks at the time of his death.
The plaintiff has accused her mother and sister of distributing the FDRs unequally, illegal acquisition of property and unauthorized transfer of company shares.
The rest of the officials have been accused of helping to embezzle money.
The case documents mentioned that the plaintiff was informed that her father had transferred 4,270 shares to her, 4,270 shares to his brother and 14,160 shares to her mother.
However, Shahzreh Huq claimed that she nor her father ever signed the transfer deeds.The plaintiff alleged that the accused forged these documents.
