ACC to quiz 6 BKB officials

The Anti-corruption Commission (ACC) will interrogate six senior officials of Bangladesh Krishi Bank (BKB), including a former managing director (MD), in connection with a Tk 1.52 billion loan scam, reports UNB.

On Wednesday, the ACC sent notices to the bank officials asking them to be present at the ACC headquarters on December 7, ACC public relations officer Pranab Kumar Bhattacharya told the news agency.

The Commission will interrogate former MD of BKB Mukther Hossain, deputy managing director Zainal Abedin, former general manager Masud Ahmed Khan, former deputy general mangers Golam Sarwar and Hafiz Uddin and former customer relationship manager Jobair Hossain.

ACC sources said Wahidur Rahman, a businessman, earlier took Tk 1.52 billion loan from Banani corporate branch of BKB showing fake documents and he in collaboration with the bank officials embezzled the money.
