| 2007-06-06 |
| The moveable properties of former state minister Ziaul Haq Zia and five others, who remained fugitive since an extortion case filed against them on April 4, were attached yesterday. Police, led by a magistrate, raided the houses of Zia, his associates Kabir Hossain Patwary, Monwar Hossain, Sahed Ahmed, Taslim Hossain and Zafar Ahmed in Ramganj and attached electronic gadgets and furniture. The court had earlier ordered attachment of the moveable properties of the accused for their failure to appear before it. Abul Khair of Lamchar had filed the case, accusing Zia and his five associates of extorting Tk one lakh from him. |
