Advocate Toufika Karim was the undeclared 'controller' of the judiciary during the previous Awami League government. He did this impossible with the touch of former law minister Anisul Haque. It is known that he roamed everywhere from the high court to the lower court.

Apart from this, he formed his own syndicate to control the judiciary. By influencing important cases, they have given judgment and bail to the violent accused in many sensational cases.

Advocate Toufika Karim is a lawyer, human rights activist and banker. Known in the legal arena as a close friend of former law minister Anisul Haque.

Three ponds, farm crops and fish farming were the main sources of income, according to the minister's election affidavit. After becoming a minister, his wealth count continued to grow. A money counting machine was installed at home to count the bribe money.

Anisul Haque started the bank's journey with Tk 400 crore security and Tk 200 crore working capital to establish Citizen Bank. His mother was the founder chairman of this bank first. After the death of her mother, the much talked about Taufika Karim was made the chairman. This Toufika Karim was the driving force of Anisul Haque. Anisul Haque did what he said.

He settled the son and daughter of Toufika Karim in Canada. This is not the end, he has a 40% share in a private television.

Research has revealed that APS Jeevan used to take campaign money. Anisul Haque's office in Gulshan used to deal with lobbying in corruption cases of big businessmen. After becoming APS Jiban Upazila Chairman, the controversial Taufika Karim was given charge of all transactions. This Taufika is the sister of Piyas Karim. He tried to bring Taufika back to social life by appointing her as a member of Human Rights Commission. A nephew of Anisul Haque was also involved in the campaign money transaction. He used to guarantee bail to the accused in all major corruption cases. After the big criminals were denied bail by the High Court-Supreme Court, Niu used to take the responsibility of getting bail from the court.

It is known that the case of appointing a new judge in exchange of money has not happened in the past. Highly incompetent and controversial 3 district judges and 5 incompetent lawyers have been appointed as judges through Taufika Karim. Their appointment proposal is said to be 'Prime Minister's Desire'.

Evidence of lobbying: A businessman who kept track of Anisul Haque told Jugantar that the High Court-Supreme Court did not grant bail to Rashedul Haque Chishti, who embezzled thousands of crores of rupees from Farmers Bank through corruption. But Anisul Haque forced the judge of a special judge court of Dhaka to grant bail.

ACC appealed to the High Court against this bail order. Then he forced the judge of the concerned court to uphold the order of the lower court showing the lure of promotion to the Supreme Court. Then the ACC appealed to the Supreme Court. Anisul Haque also advocated there. Embarrassed by his plea, the judge sent the case file back to the Chief Justice on June 18, 2020. Later, the Chief Justice assigned another judge to hear the case. Bail was suspended at the end of the hearing.

The former law minister has been accused of embezzling huge sums of money while in power under the conditions of bail in the lower courts, high courts and supreme courts. Jasmin, the accused, did not get bail even in the Supreme Court in the Hallmarks Group corruption case. Anisul Haque was bailed by putting pressure on the lower court with huge amount of money. Later, the bail was suspended by the High Court on the ACC's appeal.

When the mediator of this campaign asked for the money back, Anisul Haque would say, 'I will acquit you during the trial.'

Mizanur Rahman, the owner of Mizan Tower in Motijheel, is accused of embezzling a huge amount of money from the bank through corruption. The Supreme Court did not grant him bail. However, Anisul got bail by showing greed to make the Metropolitan Sessions Judge a High Court judge. The BNP leader and a former whip unsuccessfully appealed to the High Court and the Supreme Court to quash nearly a dozen corruption cases filed against him. Anisul Haque took a huge amount of money in the agreement to acquit him from these cases.

Dollars equivalent to rupees were taken from this family of BNP at its office in Gulshan. He took a huge amount of money as a condition for the bail of the accused in the sensational Sultan murder case. Additional Attorney General Murad Reza lobbied on behalf of the former law minister in Justice Khas Kamra. An honest judge was threatened for not listening to the plea. Later the case was bailed to another judge's bench. That judge was a woman.

Anisul Haque was arrested immediately after the change of power. And Toufika Karim went into hiding. However, there are rumors that the woman fled the country to her son in Canada. There lies his vast wealth.

Bangladesh Financial Intelligence Unit (BFIU) also seized former minister Anisul Haque's bank account after the transfer.
