Ershad acquitted in graft case

A Dhaka court on Sunday acquitted former president and Jatiya Party Chairman HM Ershad in a graft case filed in 1995.

Judge Mohammed Zahurul Haque of the Senior Special Judge’s Court passed the order after the investigation officer of the case submitted the final report asking the court to clear Ershad and his friend Mariam Mamtaj of the charges.

In the case filed with Tejgoan Police Station on September 9 of 1995, it was alleged that Ershad during his tenure as president earned a huge amount of money and transferred US$10 million to a foreign bank account of Mariam Mamtaj.

Deputy Director of the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) Ram Mohon Nath, also the investigation officer (IO) of the case, on February 23 submitted a probe report to Dhaka Chief Metropolitan Magistrate's Court.

In the probe report, Ram Mohon said he had tried to unearth the real sources of transferring the money through Bangladesh Bank, home and foreign ministries and other concerned authorities but he failed to gather information about transferring the money to the Mercantile Bank in Hongkong.

So, he decided to submit the final report, seeking acquittal of Ershad and Mariam Mamtaj of the case.

Ershad, an accused 17 other criminal cases, was earlier acquitted and discharged of several other criminal cases as the prosecution failed to prove the charges brought against him.

Ershad acquitted in graft case

Ershad is an honest man and so feels the Court.

Rather unfortunate that honest people like Ershad can be harassed.

Poor man.

@ What a pumping dada ??? Do you know now-a-days he has become a laughing stock in Bangladeshi politics. Yes it was true. Every body knows it, Ershad was hooked up with Moriem Momtaz but once she declared if her daily expenditure is not given she would disclose everthing to the press. So, Ershad sent this money. Thanks to AL high command. It is a another mockery of the court in Bangladesh
