Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) on Wednesday detained two more associates of Prashanta Kumar Halder, the disgraced director of International Leasing and Finance Service Ltd (ILFSL), in a money laundering case.
The detainees were Sharmin Ahmed, 42, and Tania Ahmed, 37. They are the daughters of People’s Leasing Company director Khabir Uddin, one of the main associates of Halder.
After getting tipped off, the elite force detained them from Dhanmondi and Shyamoli areas in the city, said Commander Khandaker Al Moin, director of the Legal and Media Wing of RAB.
Halder is now in jail as Indian intelligence team arrested him.
Halder reportedly amassed Tk3,600 crore and laundered the money abroad while performing his duties as director at ILFSL.
Besides, on January 8, the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) also lodged a complaint against Halder for acquiring wealth of around Tk275 crore beyond any known income sources and money laundering.
