The association has decided to place their demands by submitting a memorandum to the prime minister, a member of the association told bdnews24.com. His father Dildar had been the general secretary to the jewellers’ association for a previous term. Jewellers termed it “harassment” and claimed all gold businesses including Apan Jewellers were running legally. Moinul Khan, director general of CIID, said the customs detectives found evidence of irregularities, smuggling and money laundering against Dildar. He further said the Apan Jewellers outlets failed to show legal documents during the raid to back up the stockpiling of gold.
