Home Ministry official jailed in money laundering case in Barishal

Home Ministry official jailed in money laundering case in Barishal

Barishal Bureau

The Barishal Magistrate Court has sent an office assistant of the Public Security Department of the Ministry of Home Affairs to jail in a fraud and money laundering case.

According to sources, accused Abdus . Sattar appeared before the Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Court of Barishal on Sunday and sought bail.

The state side opposed the bail. After hearing both sides, learned court judge Md. Habibur Rahman rejected the bail application of accused Sattar and ordered him to be sent to jail. Advocate Sheikh Abdullah Nasir, a renowned advocate of Barishal and Additional Public Prosecutor of the Barisal District and Sessions Judge's Court, fought for the state. The plaintiff stated that from 2014 to 2018, the plaintiff was operating a business on lease of the Bangladesh Secretariat's Officers' Canteen.

The plaintiff had a good relationship with the defendant. Since the plaintiff was in Barisal most of the time for business reasons, the defendant Sattar wanted to manage the canteen, and the plaintiff Bappi Ranjan Roy, in good faith, left the entire responsibility of managing the canteen to the defendant Sattar. Taking advantage of the plaintiff's simplicity and due to lack of investigation, the cunning defendant Sattar cheated and embezzled a total of thirty-nine lakh twenty-two thousand three hundred and twenty-eight taka of the Bangladesh Secretariat without paying the government canteen rent and other government dues for nine months.

When the plaintiff Bappi Ranjan Roy, after knowing everything, asked the defendant why he did not deposit the government canteen rent of the said secretariat, the defendant A. Chhattar said that he had spent all the money for his own needs and would pay all the creditors i.e. 29,22,328 taka to the plaintiff as soon as possible.

And to this effect, the defendant Sattar accepted in writing 3 non-judicial stamps worth 100 taka. Later, the defendant Abdus Shhattar kept delaying the payment and at one stage, the defendant Abdus Chhattar revealed that he had a lot of power as a staff of the secretariat and when the plaintiff Bappi refused to pay the money saying that the plaintiff Bappi could not do anything if the defendant did not pay the money, the plaintiff Bappi Ranjan Roy became indignant and filed a case with the Barishal Kotwali Model Police Station in 2019. Which is G. R. Case No.-107/2019 (Kotwali). Accused Shattar is the son of deceased Kazem Ali of Char Samaiya village, Kotwali Model Police Station, Bhola.
