Mysterious Tk 190m transfer from London

CHITTAGONG, Oct 30 (UNB): Police Thursday sued four people, including a government officer, in connection with a 'mysterious' transfer of Tk 190 million (19 crore) from a bank in London into the account of Maijbhandar Darbar Shahi Mosque in the city.

The accused were identified as Syed M Syedul Alam, general secretary of the mosque's governing body, his brother and treasurer of the governing body SM Sahibul Alam, Education Department assistant director Abul Kalam Azad, and one Rakib.

Kotwali Police Station officer-in-charge Nezamuddin filed the case in response to a complaint by local MP (Chittagong-2) Nazibul Bashar Maijbhandari, also the president of the mosque's governing body.

Nazibul Bashar filed a general diary with the Kotwali Police Station on May 17, alleging that his signature was forged to open the account where the money was sent from London, said the OC.
