Report in graft case against SK Sinha on July 13

A Dhaka court has set July 13 for submitting probe report in a graft case filed against former chief justice Surendra Kumar Sinha by the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC).

Dhaka Metropolitan Sessions Judge Asaduzzaman set the date as the ACC couldn't submit the report on Monday.

On October 10, 2021, ACC deputy director Md Gulshan Anwar filed the case against Sinha for amassing wealth of Tk 7.14 crore on his brother and relative's names through misuse of power, later transferring and handing over the money.

The ACC in its probe found that the former chief justice paid Tk 75 lakh to Rajuk against a plot in Uttara and raised a nine-floor apartment complex on it at a cost of Tk 6.31 crore.

The anti-graft body however, said that they did not find any legal source of earning for the money used in buying the plot and developing the apartment complex.
