Ex-Bangladesh Chief Justice Remanded in Forgery Case
Imagine a very important judge, like the head of the court, was accused of doing something wrong with legal papers.
This judge, A.B.M. Khairul Haque, was taken into custody and a court in Dhaka said he had to stay there for a week while they asked him questions.
This is because he is suspected of messing with court documents.
Nobody spoke up for the judge in court.
It all started after a new group took over the government, and they started looking into things the judge did.
It's like the government is investigating the judge for possible wrongdoing.
Former Bangladesh Chief Justice A.B.M. Khairul Haque was remanded for seven days by a Dhaka court.
The remand was related to a judicial forgery case.
Khairul was arrested at his Dhaka residence last week.
No lawyer represented Khairul during the hearing.
