A Dhaka court has fixed March 3 for the submission of an investigation report in a money laundering case against expelled Jubo League leader Ismail Chowdhury Samrat and his close aide Enamul Haque Arman.
Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Mohammad Tofazzal Hossain set the new date as the concerned investigation officer failed to submit the probe report on Thursday.
Earlier on November 10, 2020, Samrat, who was the president of Dhaka South unit of Jubo League, and Arman, former vice-president of the same unit, were shown arrested in a 195 crore taka money laundering case.
On September 13 last year, the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) filed the case against the duo under the Money Laundering Act with Ramna police station.
According to the case statement, it was alleged that Samrat siphoned off 195 crore taka to Singapore and Malaysia, with the help of his aide Arman.
Earlier on October 6, 2019, Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) arrested Samrat and Arman after raiding a house near the border with Indian.
Samrat, one of the "casino kingpins" in Dhaka was expelled from the youth front of the ruling Awami League following his arrest. He came under the spotlight after RAB busted his illegal casino business at different sporting clubs in Dhaka.
