3 Transcom Group officials on 3-day remand

A Dhaka court has put three officials of Transcom Group on three-day remand each in two separate cases of money embezzlement, occupying property and handing over company shares illegally.

Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Md Rashidul Alam passed the order on Sunday, rejecting bail of the three accused.

The three remanded officials include Transcom Group director of corporate finance Abdullah Al Mamun, manager Abu Yusuf Md Siddik, and assistant company secretary Mohammed Mossadeq.

Investigation officer Inspector Md Kamal Hossain of Police Bureau of Investigation (PBI) earlier in the day appealed to place Abdullah Al Mamun on 10-day remand in the case filed with Gulshan Police Station.

He also pleaded to put the other two accused on seven-day remand in another case filed with the same police station.

After hearing both the pleas, the court granted three-day remand each.

Shahzreh Huq, daughter of the late chairman and founder of Transcom Group Latifur Rahman, filed three separate cases with capital's Gulshan Police Station on February 21. 

Members of PBI later arrested the five accused in the three cases.
