Staff Correspondent, Sylhet
The Anti Corruption Commission (ACC) has filed a case against three officials of Sylhet branch of Jamuna Bank for allegedly misappropriating Tk 66.10 lakh from seven savings accounts. The accused are former senior executive officer Neher Akhtar Arzu (now dismissed), executive officer Md. Zahidul Alam and former executive officer Chowdhury Abul Kalam Parvez (now principal officer of Trust Bank Ltd in Sylhet). Sylhet ACC Deputy Director Md. Nasir Uddin filed the case with Sylhet Kotwali police station Tuesday night. In the case it was stated that the three persons in connivance with each other misappropriated Tk 66.10 lakh from seven savings accounts. They drew the amount through 26 cheques during the period from July 2 to July 27 last year. The officials issued fresh cheque books in the name seven customers and drew the amount from different branches of the bank through forged signatures. They also allegedly tempered records, the complainant said. A police official said, though the case was filed with Kotwali police station, ACC will do the investigations.
