It has been stated in the chargesheet that New Rose Corporation received Tk 64 lakh and 64,000 from Noapara bazar road branch of Agrani Bank in 2001 for lifting a quota of fertiliser which was kept in the godown.

But the entire quota was later sold in the black market by dealer Shariful Islam in connivance with five others accused in the case.

The misappropriation was proved in a thorough investigation by a high level team of senior officers from the bank's head office. Later, a case was filed with Abhoynagar thana.

The case was transferred to CID, which took two years to complete the investigation.
