Tk 57.69 lakh Embezzlement Case
Bank officer sent to jail on surrender
A bank officer was sent to jail hajat yesterday after he surrendered before a court in a case filed by the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) for allegedly embezzling Tk 57.69 lakh of savings instruments.
Harunur Rashid, officer of Bangladesh Development Bank Limited, and former senior officer of Bangladesh Bank, Barisal branch, surrendered before the Barisal district and session judge and judge of the special tribunal and sought bail. But the court rejected the bail petition and ordered to send him to jail hajat.
Earlier on September 22, Abdus Salam Shikdar of the special tribunal ordered to issue arrest warrant against M Moyezuddin, M Mofizullah, deputy general managers, Abdul Motaleb, assistant general manager and Harunur Rashid, senior officer of Bangladesh Bank, worked at the Barisal branch during the incident in 2000-2003.
Fariduddin, the then deputy general manager of Bangladesh Bank, Barisal Branch filed the case with Barisal Kotwali Police Station on February 7, 2005. The case was transferred to the ACC on July 2, 2005 for investigation.
ACC, Barisal office, submitted the charge sheet against six high officials of Bangladesh Bank on August 5 this year for misappropriating Tk 5,7 69,340 through fake credit advices in 2000-2003.
Two other Bangladesh Bank officials -- Chowdhury Mohidul Huq and Abul Kalam Azad -- got their bail from the High Court in the case earlier after appearing before the trail court.
