A Dhaka court on Monday ordered the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) to interrogate Matiur Rahman, a former member of the National Board of Revenue (NBR), at the jail gate for three days in connection with a graft case. Dhaka Metropolitan Sessions Judge Md Zakir Hossain Galib passed the order, allowing a plea of the ACC.

The court also showed Matiur arrested in another graft case. Detective Branch (DB) of police on January 15 arrested Matiur Rahman and his wife Laila Kaniz from the city’s Bashundhara area.

Earlier on January 19, the investigation officer filed the plea for placing Matiur on a seven-day remand in the case. The court had scheduled a hearing on the matter for Monday.

Liberty News’ court correspondent reports thats the ACC on January 6 filed three separate cases against Matiur and his family members. Matiur became a subject of controversy due to a high-profile and expensive sacrificial goat, which was booked by his son.
