Awami League leader Advocate Sheikh Mohammad Abdullah was sent to Dhaka central jail as a special court Wednesday rejected his bail prayer.

Abdullah, religious affairs secretary of Awami League, surrendered to the court in connection with a graft case but judge M Ashraf Hossain sent him to jail.

On January 6, the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) filed a case with Ramna police station against Abdullah accusing him of accumulating wealth through illegal means and concealing information about his actual wealth.

Advocates Jahangir Hossain Selim, Mohammad Ali and Rashida Parveen appeared for Abdullah.
