Shawdesh Desk:

The Anti-Corruption Commission on Monday approved filing three case against former deputy governor of Bangladesh Bank SK Sur Chowdhury, his wife Suparna Sur Choudhury and daughter Nandita Sur Choudhury for not submitting wealth statements to the commission.

ACC gave the approval at a meeting of the commission held at its Segun bagicha headquarters in Dhaka, said ACC deputy director for public relations Aktarul Islam.

Following the approval ACC deputy director Nazmul Hossain will file the cases, said deputy director for public relations Aktarul Islam.

Earlier, ACC issued notices to the three graft suspects to submit their wealth statements to the commission but they did not submit the reports.

ACC froze the bank accounts of SK Sur, his wife and daughter as part of an inquiry into the allegation of tax evasion against the three.

In July 2021, the National Board of Revenue directed banks to freeze the accounts of the former deputy governor and his two family members.
