Tk 11cr Fraud
ACC sues 27 gang members
The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) yesterday lodged 10 cases against 27 members of a gang, which has forged government cheques and swindled around Tk 11 crore from the state coffer.
One of the accused is Abdul Rouf, office assistant of the Deputy Commissioner's (DC) office of Dhaka district.
The gang has forged 47 cheques similar to those printed by Bangladesh Government Press and withdrawn the money posing as people getting compensation for land acquisition, said Deputy Director Benogir Ahmed of Special Enquiry and Investigation Section-2 of the ACC.
The ACC will file 25 more cases against the remaining fraudsters, he said.
Benogir said the gang members used different commercial banks and state-run Sonali Bank to withdraw the money. They opened 20 bank accounts with fake documents, he added.
