Report in graft case against ex-CJ SK Sinha on Oct 26

A Dhaka court has 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 on Monday, reports BSS.

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 a house for his brother SK Sinha in USA 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.
