DHAKA, JUNE 9, 2022 (BSS) - The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) has started

taking testimony in a counter case filed against former communications
minister Barrister Nazmul Huda for falsely accusing former chief justice
Surendra Kumar Sinha (SK Sinha) over demanding bribes.
 
ACC director Syed Iqbal Hossain, the plaintiff in the case, testified on the
first day in the court of Judge Sheikh Hafizur Rahman of Dhaka Special
Judge's Court-9 today.

ACC lawyer MA Salauddin Iskander King confirmed the matter to BSS saying that
the ACC director was cross examined by the lawyer of the accused. As the
cross examination was not over, the court fixed June 28 as the next date.

Barrister Nazmul Huda filed a case against former Chief Justice SK Sinha with
Shahbagh Police Station on September 27, 2018, for allegedly demanding bribe
from him and changing the judgement of a graft case which had already been
disposed of.

The ACC after probing the case for one and a half years found the allegation
was baseless and false.

The case was filed against Nazmul Huda on February 20, 2020.
