DHAKA: Son and daughter of former Dhaka City Corporation (DCC) mayor Sadeque Hossain Khoka submitted a petition with High Court seeking anticipatory bail in the case in which their father was jailed for ten years.

An HC bench of Justice Md Nazrul Islam Talukder and Justice KM Hafizul Alam fixed Thursday (November 29) to deliver its verdict after hearing the petition on Wednesday (November 28). 

Ishrak Hossen and Sarika Sadeq filed the petition for anticipatory bail for their father who is the vice-chairman of BNP.

Earlier in the day, a Dhaka court sentenced 10 year’s imprisonment to Sadeque Hossain Khoka and three others for their involvement in corruption over Banani Super market car parking lease.

The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) filed the case on February 15 in 2012 against the four, accusing them of misappropriating Tk 26 lakh from the public fund and adding a loss of another Tk 11 lakh to it.
