Graft Case Against Quader

HC stays proceedings

UNB, Dhaka
The High Court yesterday stayed the proceedings of the graft case against former State Minister Obaidul Quader pending in the lower court.

The court also issued rule upon the government to show cause in four weeks why the graft case against Quader should not be quashed. The orders came upon Quader's petition moved by advocate Jahangir Hossain Selim.

Now defunct Bureau of Anti-corruption prosecuted Quader accusing him of buying a jeep for the Sports Council at an abnormal price abusing power when he was state minister for the Ministry of Youth and Sports during the AL rule.
