The High Court on Tuesday fixed June 12 for the hearing on the rule issued on November 19, 2020 over the government steps to bring back the fugitive businessman to bring back Prashanta Kumar Halder alias PK Halder. The court also directed the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) to inform the progress of the cases filed against PK Halder within this period. Earlier after his arrest, PK Halder was remanded to three-day custody with the ED on the basis of an application by the Indian agency. Later, the court ordered the law enforcement agencies to arrest PK Halder immediately upon his return to Bangladesh. PK Halder possessed two passports — one Bangladeshi and the other Canadian — but used his Bangladeshi passport to go to India.
