Report in graft case against SK Sinha on April 24

A Dhaka court has set April 24 for submitting probe report in a graft case filed against former chief justice Surendra Kumar Sinha by the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC).

Judge (in-charge) Faisal Atiq Bin Kader of Dhaka Metropolitan Sessions Judge's Court set the date as the investigation agency Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) couldn't submit the report on Sunday (February 11).

The ACC on March 31, 2022, filed the case under sections 4 (2) and 4 (3) of the Money Laundering Prevention Act and section 5 (2) of the Anti-corruption Act.

According to the case documents, Sinha bought the house at a cost of around Tk 2.40 crore.

As the ACC couldn't identify any legal source of the money paid for the home, it believes that the money was earned illegally or laundered from Bangladesh.
