A Dhaka court on Sunday denied bail to journalist Anis Alamgir in a graft case filed by the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC).
Dhaka Metropolitan Senior Special Judge Sabbir Faiz
passed the order, Defence Lawyer Taslima Jahan Popy said.
Earlier on 15 January, the ACC filed a case against
Anis Alamgir over allegations of amassing wealth beyond known sources of income
and money laundering. The court on 28 January showed Anis Alamgir as arrested
in the case.
According to the case documents, Anis allegedly
acquired movable and immovable assets worth Tk4.09 crore. His total assets
stood at Tk4.25 crore, with family and other expenses shown at Tk15.90 lakh.
Investigators found that Anis earned a total of Tk99.09
lakh from legitimate sources, including previous savings, income from talk
shows and consultancy services, the sale of a plot, and savings certificates
and bank interest.
Earlier on 5 March, Anis Alamgir secured bail from
the High Court in a case filed by Aryan Ahmed, an organiser of the July
Revolutionary Students’ Alliance, under the Anti-Terrorism Act with Uttara West
Police Station on 14 December 2025.
