HC grants bail to 3 owners of Apan Jewellers

Staff Correspondent: The High Court has granted bail to three owners of Apan Jewellers owners Gulzar Ahmed, Dildar Ahmed and Azad Ahmed in three of five money laundering cases filed by customs intelligence.

The bench of Justice M Enayetur Rahim and Justice Shahidul Karim passed the order on Thursday.

Earlier on November 22, The High Court sought explanation as to why the owners of Apan Jewellers should not be granted bail.

On August 12, Customs Intelligence and Investigation Directorate (CIID) filed five cases against the three owners of Apan Jewellers after 15 maunds of illegal gold and some diamond jewellery were recovered from its branches.

Five CIID assistant revenue officers filed the cases with Gulshan Police Station, Dhanmondi Police Station, Ramna Police Station and Uttara Police Station following the directives of the National Board of Revenue (NBR).
