Suspended DGHS official Abzal sent to prison

A  Dhaka court yesterday sent Abzal Hossain, a suspended accountant of the  medical education department under the Directorate General of Health  Services (DGHS), to jail in connection with two separate money  laundering cases filed by the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC).

Judge  KM Emrul Kayesh of the Senior Special Judge's Court of Dhaka passed the  order after Abzal surrendered before it seeking bail in the cases.

On  June 27 of 2019, ACC deputy director Md Towfiqul Islam filed the two cases with ACC Integrated District Office-1 of Dhaka, accusing the  couple of committing the corruption.
