Barrister Sumon banned from leaving the country
The court has banned Barrister Syed Sayedul Haque Sumon, former member of parliament (MP) for Habiganj-4 constituency, from leaving the country.
The court passed this order on Monday (May 26) morning following an application by the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC).
In the application, the ACC said that there are allegations of assets beyond known income against Barrister Sayedul Haque Sumon. Therefore, a ban on his travel abroad has been sought for the sake of investigation.
It is learned that former member of parliament Barrister Sayedul Haque Sumon was arrested on October 21 in a case of attempted murder of Jubo Dal leader Hridoy Mia.
Jubo Dal leader Hridoy Mia was shot in Mirpur in the capital on July 19 during a student-public movement. Later, he filed an attempt to murder case at Mirpur Model Police Station, making Barrister Sayedul Haque Sumon the third accused. He has also been remanded in this case.
