The ACC has filed a case against Laxmipur-2 MP Shahid Islam Papul and his wife Selina Islam for money laundering.
Before the allegation of human trafficking was raised, the issue of money laundering came to the fore in 2016. During the investigation, the ACC got preliminary information about illegal transactions and smuggling of Tk 146 crore from the bank account of Papul's sister-in-law Jasmine Pradhan. Then, in July last year, the company interrogated Papil's wife Selina along with Jasmine. After that, Papul and his wife Selina became MPs in the parliamentary elections.
After all, the Kuwaiti government is in a strong position on the issue of human trafficking. Papul's name came up in the statements of the four arrested people. Papul is currently in Kuwaiti jail in a human trafficking case.
