Report in graft case against SK Sinha on Oct 26

DHAKA, Aug 28, 2023 (BSS) - A Dhaka court today set October 26 for submitting probe report in a graft case filed against former chief justice Surendra Kumar Sinha by the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC).

Judge (in-charge) Faisal Atiq Bin Kader of Dhaka Metropolitan Sessions Judge's Court set the date as investigation agency Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) couldn't submit the report today.

The ACC on March 31, 2022, filed the case under sections 4 (2) and 4 (3) of the money laundering prevention act and section 5 (2) of the anti-corruption act.

According to the case documents, Ananta Kumar Sinha bought the house at a cost of around Taka 2.40 crore.

As the ACC couldn't identify any legal source of the money paid for the home, it believes that the money was earned illegally or laundered from Bangladesh.
