A Dhaka court on Thursday asked Arafat Rahman Koko, the youngest son of BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia, to appear before it on May 13 this year in connection with a money laundering case.
Senior Special Judge ANM Bashir Ullah passed the order after Koko's lawyers appealed to the court saying that their client was earlier released on parole and has gone abroad for treatment. So, he could not appear the court on Thursday.
The court also directed the officers-in -charge of Comilla Sadar and Gulshan police stations to submit report by the same date on execution of arrest warrant against Ismail Hossain Saimon, son of former Shipping Minister late Akbar Hossain, in the same case.
The Anti-corruption Commission filed the case against Koko on March 17 last year under the money laundering law for siphoning off Tk 19,70,25,000 to Singapore.
