A Dhaka court today (18 January) sent former member of National Board of Revenue (NBR) Ratiur Rahman to jail in an arms case.

"Following the completion of a three-day remand, Matiur was produced before Metropolitan Magistrate Naznin Akhter and prayed for confining him into jail till the end of the investigation," Sub-Inspector (SI) Belal Hossain of the detective branch (DB) of police said.

"After considering the prosecution's request, the court ordered to send him to jail," the SI added.

On 15 January, a team of DB arrested Matiur Rahman from the city's Bashundhara area and recovered a firearm from his possession.

Police later filed an arms case with Vatara Police Station in this connection.

On that day, his first wife Laila Kaniz was also been arrested and later sent to jail in a graft case filed by the Anti-Corruption Commission.

Matiur made headlines after a controversial incident last year, where his son, Mushfiqur Rahman Ifat, was involved in buying high-value goats, which attracted public and legal scrutiny.

The allegations against him surfaced after a video of Ifat buying a goat for Tk15 lakh went viral before Eid-ul-Adha.

On 4 June, ACC started an inquiry against Rahman over allegations of amassing illegal wealth and money laundering. 

He was subsequently removed from his post in NBR and attached to the Internal Resources Division (IRD) of the Finance Ministry.

Following the inquiry, the ACC had filed several cases against Matiur and his family members over acquiring illegal assets.

Besides, the ACC filed a case against Laila on 6 January for amassing illegal wealth of Tk13.58 crore. She is also accused of concealing information about wealth of Tk1.53 crore.
