ACC Director Syed Iqbal Hossain and Assistant Director Gulshan Anwar interrogated them
from 10am to 5pm, an ACC official said. M Wahidul Haque came out from ACC headquarters at around 4:30 but did not say anything to the reporters about the interrogation. “You better ask the ACC officials about the interrogation”.
Interrogation of the bank’s former MD Fazlur Rahman started at 10.00am and he came out at 5.00pm “We have given our explanation in the money laundering case,” he told reporters. Asked whether he was involved in the case, he said, “I can not say anything about this.”
