The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) has arrested four Farmers Bank officials, including its audit committee Chairman Mahabubul Haque Chisty, on charges of misusing their offices in disbursing loans.
The others are Chisty’s son Rashedul Haque Chisty, Senior Vice President Ziauddin Ahmed and First President Muhammad Masudur Rahman Khan.
They were arrested by an ACC team led by Deputy Director Md Shamsul Alam from the capital’s Segunbagicha on Tuesday.
They have been arrested in a case started with the Gulshan police against six people earlier in the day on charges of misappropriating Tk 1.6 billion and money laundering, said the ACC official.
