A Dhaka court today (6 August) granted a three-day remand for Md Khairul Bashar, chairman of foreign education consultancy firm BSB Global Network, in connection with a money embezzlement case filed with Gulshan Police Station.
Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Md Sanaullah passed the remand order following a hearing. The court granted the remand after rejecting the defence's bail plea and considering arguments from both prosecution and defence.
Confirming the court's decision, Sub-Inspector (SI) Moktar Hossain of Gulshan Police's prosecution unit said that Bashar was accused of embezzling Tk1.18 crore from eleven individuals. "The case was filed on 1 June with Gulshan Police Station."

The Si further said, "SI KM Mofizur Rahman, the investigation officer of the case, had initially sought a 10-day remand for Bashar. The defence counsel appealed for bail and cancellation of the remand, but the prosecution strongly opposed."
On 14 July, the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) arrested Bashar from the ground floor of a building on Road No 4 in Dhaka's Dhanmondi area. The following day, a Dhaka court granted a 10-day remand in a money laundering case.
Following the completion of his earlier remand, Bashar has since been shown arrested in multiple cases of fraud and embezzlement.
