The Anti-Corruption Commission has summoned two businessmen, who it says has deposited a large amount of funds in bank accounts maintained by ‘VIPs’.
A spokesperson for the graft watchdog said Niranjan Chandra Saha and Mohammad Shahjahan have been told to appear before the investigators on May 6.
“They have took Tk 40 million in loans from the Farmers’ Bank through forged documents and in collusion with bank officials,” Pranab Kumar Bhattacharya, public relations official of the ACC, told Bangla Tribune.
“The money was later deposited into banks accounts of very important persons of the state. There also allegations of money laundering against them,” he added.
On Wednesday, letters issued by ACC Director Syed Iqbal were forwarded to Saha and Shahjahan.
Speaking to Bangla Tribune, Iqbal, however, could not provide details on the ‘VIPs’.
“We are not sure yet (about the identities of the VIPs). The businessmen will be quizzed on May 6 for further information,” he said.
