The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) will again interrogate former BASIC Bank chairman Sheikh Abdul Hye Bachchu on May 15 as he skipped Monday’s quizzing in connection with a
case over embezzlement of huge amount of money from the bank.
Earlier, deputy director of the commission Shamsul Alam served a notice on him to be present to face the Monday’sinterrogation in connection with the embezzlement of a huge amount of money from the bank. ACC fixed the new date for quizzing BASIC Bank’s former chairman Sheikh Abdul Hye Bacchu as he skipped Monday’s interrogation, ACC’s Public Relations Officer Pranab Kumar Bhattacharya told UNB.
He added that, Bacchu submitted an application seeking 2-month time on the ground of illness but ACC only allowed a week.
The central bank sent a report on the scam to the ACC on July 14, 2014 about the detail of embezzlement and found Bacchu’s illegal influence in all the activities of the bank. According to an inquiry of Bangladesh Bank, about Tk 4,500 crore was swindled out from Basic Bank during six years while Sheikh Abdul Hye Bachhu served as its chairman.
