Judgment in casino case against expelled AL politicians deferred
A Dhaka court on Wednesday deferred the judgment in the illegal casino and money laundering case filed against 11 people, including expelled Awami League politicians Enamul Haque Enu and Rupon Bhuiyan, till April 25.
The final judgment in the case was scheduled to be pronounced by Dhaka Special Court-5 judge Iqbal Hossain on Wednesday. As the judge is on leave, the judgment has been deferred, said Saiful Islam, a court official.
Special public prosecutor Shawkat Alam said that acting judge Monir Kamal fixed April 25 as the new date for announcing the judgment.
On March 16, the Dhaka court fixed April 6 for delivering its judgment in the case after both prosecution and defence wrapped up their arguments.
