Dhaka court has directed the authorities concerned to publish a gazette asking former managing director of NRB Global Bank Prashanta Kumar Halder and seven others to appear before it.
Judge KM Emrul Kayesh of Dhaka Metropolitan Senior Special Judge's Court passed the order on Wednesday after getting reports from different police stations on execution of arrest warrants issued against PK Halder and seven others.
The seven others are: PK Halder's mother Lilabati Halder, his brother Pritish Kumar Halder, Purnima Rani Halder, Amitav Adhikari, Rajib Som, Subrata Das and Ananga Mohon Roy.
Meanwhile, the court rejected a bail petition of PK Halder's close aide Anindita Mridha, who had been in jail since January 2021.
Earlier on March 27, the same court accepted the charges against PK Halder and 13 others in a case filed over laundering Tk 80 crore to Canada and amassing about Tk 426 crore illegally.
The judge also issued arrest warrants against the accused as they were shown "fugitives" in the charge sheet.
Of the accused, PK Halder and four others were arrested in India on May 14.
