A Dhaka court today extended bail of expelled Jubo League leader Ismail Hossain Chowdhury Samrat until April 9 in a case filed for laundering around Tk 222 crore and channeling it to casinos in Singapore and Malaysia between 2011 and 2018.
Judge (in charge) Md Iqbal Hossain of the Special Judge's Court-6 passed the order after Samrat's lawyer Afroza Shahanaz Parvin Hira submitted an application, seeking extension of bail in the case.
The lawyer also submitted another petition, seeking an adjournment of the charge framing hearing in the case.
Samrat was present at the court during today's hearing.
On August 22, the same court granted ad-interim bail to Samrat considering his health condition. In the order, the judge said Samrat will have to submit his passport to the court while furnishing his bail bond.
Samrat walked out of jail following the bail order. He had been taking treatment at Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU) since then.
