Members of the Anti Corruption Commission (ACC) yesterday arrested three officials of Basic Bank Limited in connection with the swindling of money from the state-run bank, reports UNB.
An ACC team conducted a drive in Motijheel area around 2 pm and detained the three, ACC official Pranab Bhattacharya said.
The detainees were identified as suspended deputy managing directors Fazlu Sobhan and Mohammad Selim, and former deputy general manager Shiper Ahmed. The trio were taken into the ACC head office for questioning. The Commission will seek their remand for questioning them further, Pranab said.
In September 2015, the ACC filed 56 cases against 156 people in connection with the swindling of about Tk 2,000 crore from Basic Bank. The detainees are accused in most of the cases.
On October 22, 2015, the national anti-graft body formed a six-member probe team to investigate the cases.
