A Dhaka court on Thursday (September 19) placed former law minister Anisul Huq and private industry affairs adviser to former prime minister Sheikh Hasina Salman F Rahman, on a five-day remand each in a case filed under the Foreign Exchange Regulation Act.

Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Md Arifur Rahman passed the order after Investigation Officer Md Rashidul Hasan, a sub-inspector of Kotwali Police Station, produced them before it around 7:00am seeking a seven-day remand.

Before that, they were shown arrested in the case after the IO submitted an application in this regard.

In the remand prayer, the IO said both were directly involved with possessing and selling foreign currencies illegally. So, they need to be remanded to find out the persons who supplied those foreign currencies to them.
