High Court orders arrest of five over National Bank loan scam
The accused opened the company with fake documents and took a loan of Tk2.60 crore from National Bank’s Dilkusha branch in the name of the company
The High Court has ordered the arrest of five, including one Chinese national, over around Tk2.60 crore loan scam in National Bank.
The court also asked to confiscate the passports of them and directed Special Judges' Court-5 of Dhaka to settle the case within six months.
The accused are -- Abdul Wadud Khan, National Bank's former senior vice-president, Chinese national Yong Wang Chung, chairman of The Sinfa Nitas Limited, Khasru Al Rahman, managing director of the company, Monsurul Haque, its director, and Md Golam Mustafa, another director of the company.
A bench of Justice Md Nazrul Islam Talukdar and Justice KM Hafizul Alam passed the order today dismissing the bank's former executive vice-president Shahabuddin Chowdhury's plea of discarding the graft case.
The accused opened The Sinfa Nitas Limited company with fake documents and took a loan of Tk2.60 crore from National Bank's Dilkusha branch in the name of the company.
Later, they did not repay the loan.
On June 17, 2017, Deputy Director of Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) Jahangir Hossain filed a case with Motijheel Police Station accusing six people in this connection.
The ACC submitted a charge sheet in the case on June 24, 2018.
The case is now pending with Special Judges' Court-5 of Dhaka.
