ACC arrests BASIC Bank GM Zainul Abedin

The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) on Tuesday arrested BASIC Bank General Manager Zainul Abedin Choudhury from the city’s Motijheel area in connection with the loan scam, reports the UNB.

 

An ACC team, led by its director Syed Iqbal Hossain, picked up Zainul Abedin from in front of Sena Kalyan Bhaban around 2:30 pm.

 

In September last year, the national anti-graft body filed 56 cases against 156 people in connection with the swindling out of about Tk 2,000 crore from BASIC Bank. Zainul was accused in most of the cases.

 

On October 22, 2015, the ACC formed a six-member team to investigate the cases.
