UNB, Dhaka

Police Saturday again arrested Awami League religious affairs secretary Sheikh Abdullah on charges of breaking the Emergency Power Rules (EPR) minutes after he came out of Dhaka central jail on bail following High Court order.

On August 12, the High Court granted him bail for three months in an ill-gotten wealth case and stayed the case proceedings.

Advocate Rashida Parveen told UNB Sunday that her client Abdullah was denied bail when police produced him before a Dhaka court and 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 by illegal means and concealing information about his actual wealth, as a countrywide drive against corruption is on in the interim period.
