Ragib Ali’s son lands in jail

Staff Correspondent, Sylhet: A court in Sylhet has sent industrialist Ragib Ali’s son Abdul Hye who was arrested from Zakiganj border in Sylhet to jail.

Chief Metropolitan Magistrate (CMM) of Sylhet Saifuzzaman Hiru passed the order after rejecting the bail petition of Abdul Hye Saturday evening.

APP Shamsul Islam, Sylhet district judge court, said Hye was produced before the court in the evening after arresting him on noon.

Advocate Moinul Islam submitted the bail petition for Hye in the court.

But the court rejected the bail petition and ordered the authorities concerned to send him to jail.

Hye was arrested in a case filed for forging the land ministry`s official documents to grab the land of Tarapur Tea Estate, which is an endowment property.

Hye, his father Ragib and four others were wanted in the case.

In mid-August, a Sylhet court issued arrest warrants for six people, including Ragib, Hye and two other members of their family on charge of the offence.

Immediately after issuing the warrant, Ragib and Hye fled to India through Jakiganj border to avoid arrest.
