ACC Files Case Against Ex-BB Deputy Governor SK Sur, Family
The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) has filed a case against Sitangshu Kumar (SK) Sur, former Deputy Governor of Bangladesh Bank, his wife Suparna Sur Chowdhury, and daughter Nandita Sur Chowdhury for failing to submit their asset statements within the stipulated time.
The case was filed on Monday (23 December), according to ACC Deputy Director (Public Relations) Md Aktarul Islam.
The accused has been charged under Section 26(2) of the ACC Act 2004 for failing to submit the asset statements.
It is reported that in August last year, the ACC sent letters to banks and financial institutions seeking all transaction details related to this family. In 2022, after SK Sur's name emerged in connection with the financial scandal involving PK Halder, the ACC initiated an investigation against him and others. On 29 March of that year, the ACC summoned SK Sur for questioning regarding the embezzlement of over BDT 2,500 crore from International Leasing and Financial Services Limited (ILFSL). SK Sur Chowdhury retired from the position of Deputy Governor in January 2018.
There are allegations that SK Sur, during his tenure as Deputy Governor, aided and benefited from the loan fraud involving PK Halder, the former Managing Director of NRB Global Bank.
