The High Court on Sunday ordered Transcom Group CEO Simeen Rahman and three others to surrender in 72 hours.
The High Court issued the directive following a murder case filed in connection with suspicious death of Arshad Waliur Rahman, younger brother of Simeen Rahman and youngest son of late chairman of Transcom Group Latifur Rahman.
Shahreh Haque, youngest daughter of late Latifur Rahman and younger sister of Simeen Rahman, has filed the case with Gulshan police station..
According to the details provided in the case statement, Shahreh Haque asserted that she, along with her deceased elder brother Arshad Waliur Rahman and Simeen Rahman, were rightful heirs to all movable and immovable properties of their late father Latifur Rahman as per Muslim Sharia law.
The allegations stated that Simeen Rahman and his son Jaif engaged in fraudulent activities, forging documents with intention to deprive
Shahreh and Arshad of their rightful inheritance, including shares and positions within the Transcom Group established by their father, Latifur Rahman. Things escalated when Arshad Waliur Rahman, on June 8 last year, was granted power of attorney to address the fraudulent activities of Simeen Rahman. Subsequently, Simeen Rahman purportedly expressed hostility towards Arshad, citing concerns for his own safety.
Tragically, Arshad fell severely ill on June 16 last year and was found unconscious in his Gulshan-2 residence. Despite no prior complications or illnesses, Arshad's condition rapidly deteriorated, leading to his untimely demise.
Shahreh Haque's statement further details her presence at the scene of her brother's death where she alleged that the accused did not disclose any information regarding Arshad's health. Instead, they hastily transported him to United Hospital in an attempt to obtain a death certificate before hastily arranging his burial.
Suspicion arose among medical professionals when Simeen Rahman was brought to the hospital with doctors indicating that he had passed away long before arrival. Besides, the family doctor advised against involving the authorities raising further questions surrounding the circumstances of Arshad's death.
In light of these compelling allegations, Shahreh Haque points to a premeditated conspiracy involving multiple unidentified suspects totaling 11 accused individuals. It is alleged that these individuals conspired to poison or suffocate Arshad Waliur Rahman aiming to usurp his rightful inheritance of immovable property.
The unfolding developments in this case have prompted heightened scrutiny and demands for justice as the investigation delves deeper into the intricate web of familial and corporate dynamics within the Transcom Group. As Simeen Rahman and the other accused are ordered to surrender, the quest for truth and accountability continues.
