The Anti-Corruption Commission Sunday approved pressing charge sheet against seven people, including the former deputy managing director of Oriental Bank, for embezzling around Tk11m.
“The commission’s general meeting today [Sunday] approved filing of the charge sheet. It could be filed at court any day,” ACC Public Relations Officer Pranab Kumar Bhattacharya told reporters.
The accused are former DMD Imamul Haque, former senior vice-president Shah M Harun (discharged), former senior assistant vice-president Abul Kashem Mahmud Ullah, former assistant vice-president M Fazlur Rahman, former senior executive vice-president Mahmud Hossain, former executive vice-president Kamrul Islam and former executive officer M Tariqul Alam.
According to the case statement, the accused while in office embezzled Tk10.9m from the account of Tanvir Agency by forging cheques.
