A search of the locker of the Bangladesh Bank vault has seized 55,000 euros and 169,300 US dollars belonging to former deputy governor of the bank, Sitangshu Kumar (SK) Sur Chowdhury. In addition, 1,050 grams of gold and 7 million taka FDRs were found.<\/p>\n
A seven-member team of the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) went to the central bank at 10:50 am on Sunday to open SK Sur’s locker. The operation was led by ACC Director Kazi Sayemuzzaman.<\/p>\n
After a 10-and-a-half-hour search, the operation was concluded at 9:20 pm. Executive Magistrate Syeda Saleha Nur was present at the time.<\/p>\n
Regarding the operation, Kazi Sayemuzzaman said, “A notice was issued to him (SK Sur) to give an account of his assets. But he did not submit the account. That is why we are conducting a raid on his house to search for his assets.\u2019<\/p>\n
He said, \u2018Information was found during the raid that he had goods in his Bangladesh Bank locker. Based on that, a search was conducted in the Bangladesh Bank locker on Sunday with the approval of the court.\u2019<\/p>\n
The ACC director said, \u2018After a day-long search, we found one kilogram and 5 grams of gold, one lakh 69 thousand 300 dollars, 55 thousand euros and 7 million taka of FDRs. The FDRs found are not in his name. We will verify the accounts that he has.\u2019<\/p>\n
It is worth noting that on January 19, the ACC conducted a raid on SK Sur\u2019s residence in Dhanmondi and recovered 16 lakh 25 thousand taka in cash. Savings certificates and insurance documents worth 4 crore 45 lakh crore taka were also found. Information about three flats owned by him was also found during the raid.<\/p>\n
The former deputy governor was arrested on January 14 in a case filed on December 23, 2024 for failing to submit details of his assets. On the same day, the ACC filed three separate cases against SK Sur, his wife Suparna Sur Chowdhury and his daughter Nandita Sur Chowdhury for not submitting their asset declarations.<\/p>\n
SK Sur was under the watch of the ACC for his alleged association with Prashant Kumar Halder (PK Halder), former managing director of NRB Global Bank. The ACC and the National Board of Revenue froze the bank accounts of SK Sur, his wife and daughter on charges of tax evasion. The ACC is investigating SK Sur’s assets.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
