Tk878cr laundering case: Rangdhanu Group chairman's wife, sons denied bail for failing to appear before court

A Dhaka Court today (26 August) denied bail to the wife and two sons of Rangdhanu Group Chairman Rafiqul Islam in a Tk878 crore money laundering case.
Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate MA Azharul Islam rejected their bail pleas as they applied for voluntary surrender and bail through their lawyers but failed to appear in court during the hearing, said the court's prosecution division Sub-Inspector Moktar Hossain.
The accused are Rafiqul Islam's wife, Jobeda Begum, and sons, Kausar Ahmed Apu and Mehedi Hasan Dipu.
On 7 August, the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) filed the case with Gulshan Police Station against Rafiqul Islam and his several associates over the alleged laundering of Tk878 crore.
