Indictment hearing deferred in Mosharraf's money laundering case

A Dhaka court yesterday deferred to July 23 the hearing on charge framing against BNP standing committee member Khandaker Mosharraf Hossain in a case filed for laundering over Tk 9.53 crore to the United Kingdom.

The order came after his lawyer Taherul Islam Tauhid submitted a petition seeking adjournment of the hearing.

In his petition, Tauhid said his client had earlier filed a petition with the High Court challenging the legality of acceptance of the charges by the lower court which is now pending.
