[Bangla Daily Star] Detained Jamaat-e-Islami Nayeb-e-Ameer Delwar Hossain Sayedee on Thursday was shown jugged in connection with a case filed against him for dodging income tax.| That's the FBI's fave attack against Mafioso -- so much easier to prove than murder and mayhem. |
Judge (In charge) Mohammad Ismail Hossain of the Senior Special Judge's Court of Dhaka passed the order after Additional Public Prosecutor Shah Alam Talukder submitted a petition to show him jugged in the case.
Deputy Tax Commissioner Masuma Khatun of the National Board of Revenue (NBR) filed the case against Sayedee on August 19 for committing such offences.
Sayedee, accused in a number of criminal cases, was charged for dodging tax amounting to Tk 56.45 lakh for the fiscal years from 2005-2006 to 2009-2010.
In the case statement, Masuma said Sayedee, also a former Jamaat lawmaker, evaded Tk 56,45,812 in income tax on Tk 2,27,40,120 earned from different sources. He repeatedly provided false information about his income and expenditure.
Sayedee was jugged on June 29 this year in a case filed for hurting religious sentiment of Mohammedans. Later, he was shown jugged in a number of criminal cases including three for allegedly killing people during the country's Liberation War in 1971.
Meantime, the same court again directed officer-in-charge of Dhanmondi police on execution of arrest warrant issued earlier against Jamaat leader Mir Kashem Ali in a tax evasion case.
