The reason why former Deputy Governor SK Sur and his family were implicated in a case.
The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) has filed a case against former Bangladesh Bank Deputy Governor Sitanshu Kumar Sur Chowdhury (SK Sur Chowdhury), his wife Suparna Sur Chowdhury and daughter Nandita Sur Chowdhury. The case was filed at the ACC’s Integrated District Office Dhaka-1 on Sunday for not submitting their asset declarations within the stipulated time.
Deputy Director of the agency Md. Akhtarul Islam confirmed this information on Monday. He said that charges have been filed against Sur, his wife and daughter under Section 26(2) of the ACC Act 2004 for not submitting their asset declarations.
Earlier, the income tax documents of former Bangladesh Bank Deputy Governor Sitanshu Kumar Sur Chowdhury, his wife Suparna Sur Chowdhury and daughter Nandita Sur Chowdhury were seized following an application by the ACC.
Earlier, in August 2023, the ACC wrote to banks and financial institutions seeking information on all types of transactions of this family.
It is worth noting that the ACC started an investigation against SK Sur in 2022 after his name was implicated in the financial scandal involving PK Halder. The ACC summoned SK Sur in March of that year. SK Sur Chowdhury retired from the post of Deputy Governor in January 2018.
It is alleged that while SK Sur was the Deputy Governor, he cooperated and took advantage of the loan scandal involving Prashant Kumar Halder (PK Halder), former Managing Director of NRB Global Bank.
