A Dhaka court has granted a 10-day remand for Khairul Bashar Bahar, Chairman of BSB Global Network, in connection with a money laundering case filed with Gulshan Police Station.

The order was issued on Tuesday by Additional Metropolitan Magistrate Md. Sanaullah, following a hearing on the remand plea.

CID Sub-Inspector Khalid Saifullah, the investigating officer, produced Bashar before the court and sought a 10-day remand.

Assistant Public Prosecutors Md. Shamsuddoha Suman and Kaiyum Islam Nayon argued in favour of the remand, while defense lawyers Kazi Anisur Rahman and Marufa Akter petitioned for bail and cancellation of the remand request.

After hearing both sides, the court rejected the bail plea and approved the 10-day remand.

According to the case details, Bashar, along with his wife Khandaker Selima Rowshan and son Arsh Ibn Bashar, allegedly defrauded students by promoting false promises of overseas education. The trio is accused of embezzling over Tk 18.29 crore from 141 students through flashy advertisements and fake promises of sending them abroad for higher education.

The case was filed on May 4 by CID Sub-Inspector Ruhul Amin.
