A Dhaka court on Wednesday ordered the authorities concerned to publish a gazette asking 10 people, including former managing director of the then NRB Global Bank and Reliance Finance, Proshanta Kumar Halder alias PK Halder, to appear before it. Dhaka Metropolitan Sessions Judge KM Imrul Qayesh passed the order, fixing July 7 for submitting a report on executing the order in a case lodged over amassing illegal wealth and laundering the money abroad. The nine other accused are Lilaboti Halder, Purnima Rani Halder, Uttam Kumar Mistri, Amitabh Adhikari, Pritish Kumar Halder, Rajib Shom, Subrata Das, Anang Mohan Roy and Swapan Kumar Mistri. As the report was not filed on Wednesday, the court came up with the new order. The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) filed the case against PK Halder on January 8, 2020 for amassing illegal wealth of around Tk275 crore and laundering the money abroad.
