BNP MP Harunur Rashid on Monday filed an appeal with the High Court against the lower court verdict that earlier given him five years imprisonment in a graft case.

He also sought bail today (Monday), said the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) lawyer Khurshid Alam Khan.

The hearing is scheduled to be held before the HC bench of Md Shawkat Hossain later on the day.
