A Dhaka court today ordered the imprisonment of Tajbir Hasan in connection with a case filed by the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) with the Airport Police Station.

Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Rakibul Hasan passed the order and set October 14 for a hearing on the remand petition.

Tajbir Hasan is known to be a business partner and 10% shareholder of Prashanto Kumar (PK) Halder, the disgraced former Managing Director of NRB Global Bank and Reliance Finance Limited, who has been accused in multiple corruption and money laundering cases.

Earlier, police arrested Tajbir under Section 54 of the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC). He was detained at Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport while attempting to board a flight to Turkey, confirmed the investigation officer (IO) of the case.

According to the ACC investigation, Tajbir maintained close ties with PK Halder and was allegedly involved in money laundering activities linked to Halder’s large-scale financial scandal.

The ACC continues to investigate the network of associates believed to have aided PK Halder in siphoning off millions of taka abroad through fraudulent financial schemes.
