4 describe to court grief caused by PK Halder

Four depositors of People s Leasing and Financial Service (PLFS), a non-banking financial institution, yesterday described their plights and sufferings before the High Court for not getting back their money from PLFS.
They said they could not get back their money as Proshanta Kumar Halder, popularly known as PK Halder, and his accomplices have embezzled a huge amount of money from the organisation and laundered it abroad.
The four are: Nashid Kamal, former Dhaka University teacher and daughter of former chief justice Mustafa Kamal, Samia Binte Mahbub, a former official of a private firm, Md Tariqul Islam, an official of Khaled Mansur Trust, a welfare organisation, and Md Shawkat-Ur Rahman, a freedom fighter and former director of DU gymnasium.
After police traced the girl, she stated before a judicial magistrate that she had converted on her own will and married. The father, however, moved the HC insisting that her statement “may not have been recorded in an atmosphere where she felt comfortable”.
To allay his apprehensions, the HC had directed the girl, now 19, to meet the senior-most additional district judge in Tehatta. The court had also instructed that “sufficient care be taken so that she was not under any coercion or undue influence”. The district judge furnished a “clear and clean report” to the HC, but the father was still not satisfied.
