A court on Tuesday sent two accused to jail after rejecting their bail petitions in a case filed in connection with Faridpur Medical College Hospital (FMCH) curtain purchase scam.

Faridpur District and Session Judge Selim Mia passed the order when the two appeared before the court after expiry of their six-month bail given by the  High Court.

The accused are Abdullah Al Mamun, owner of M/s Anik Traders and Munshi Sazzad Hossain, administrative officer of National Institute of Cardiovascular Diseases (NICVD).

Mohammad Majibor Rahman, an ACC lawyer, said the accused secured six-month bail from the High Court (HC). The court  also asked them to surrender before a lower court after the expiry of the bail.

On November 27, 2019,  ACC Deputy Director Mamunur Rashid Chowdhury filed a case against six people, including Mamun and Sazzad, in connection with Faridpur Medical College Hospital (FMCH) curtain purchase scam.

They are accused of trying to embezzle Tk 10 crore in collusion with each other in the pretext of procuring medical equipment including curtains for the hospital.

On August 20, last year, the High Court ordered the ACC to look into the irregularities and corruption in purchase for the Intensive Care Unit of FMCH. It gave six months to complete the investigation.
