Money laundering case: PK Halder’s close associate on 3-day remand

A Dhaka court today placed Shankha Bepary, a close associate of Proshanta Kumar Halder alias PK Halder, on a three-day remand in a money laundering case.

Judge KM Emrul Kayesh of the Senior Special Judge's Court of Dhaka passed the order after ACC Deputy Director Md Salahuddin and also the investigation officer of the case, produced Shankha Bepary before the court with a three-day remand prayer.

In the remand prayer, the IO said PK Halder had earlier bought some properties in Shankha's name. But Shankha was trying to sell those properties in secrecy.

As such, Shankha needs to be remanded to gather more information about the properties which were bought in his name, the IO added.

Shankha's name was not included in the first information report of the case but the ACC found his involvement with the incident during the investigation.
