On Dec 10, the graft watchdog pressed charges against Sinha and 10 others in this regard.
The others are the Farmers Bank’s former managing director AKM Shamim, Senior Executive Vice-President and former head of Credit Division Gazi Salahuddin, First Vice-President of Credit Division Swapan Kumar Roy, First Vice-President Shafiuddin Askary, former chairman of the bank’s audit committee Mahbubul Haque Chisty and Vice-President Lutful Haque.
On Jan 5, a Dhaka court accepted the charge sheet and issued warrants against the former top judge and other suspects.
