The High Court has asked two children of former Dhaka City Corporation (DCC) mayor Sadeque Hossain Khoka to surrender before the lower court in Dhaka in four weeks.
Khoka’s son Ishraque Hossain and daughter Sarika Sadeque have been asked to surrender before Chief Metropolitan Magistrate’s Court in Dhaka in connection with two separate graft cases.
The HC bench of justice Md Nazrul Islam Talukder and Justice KM Hafizul Alam passed the order after rejecting their bail petitions.
The court also refused to pass any order on their pleas seeking direction upon police not to harass or arrest them in connection with the cases.
On Wednesday, the siblings appeared before the court and sought anticipatory bail.
The Anti-Corruption Commission filed two cases against them with Ramna Police Station in 2010 for not submitting wealth statements.
Khoka’s son Ishraque Hossain is going to contest the upcoming 11th national election.
A Dhaka court on Wednesday sentenced the former DCC mayor Khoka and three others to 10 years’ imprisonment in a graft case.
