Earlier on 5 August, a national newspaper reported on the vast wealth of the Ramna OC which included an eight-storey building in the capital.
On 8 August, the report was brought to the attention of the HC and Barrister Syed Syedul Haque Sumon sought directions for action and investigation in this regard.
The court then asked to bring the matter as an application (writ).
Following this, a writ was filed with the HC.
According to the news report, OC Monirul also has another duplex which is under construction.
Besides, he reportedly owns four plots of land in Keraniganj and Munshiganj.
