Case against Ex CJ SK Sinha his brother, probe report Aug 28
Former Chief Justice SK Sinha
A Dhaka court Sunday fixed August 28 for submitting probe report in a case filed against former Chief Justice Surendra Kumar (SK) Sinha and his brother Ananta Kumar Sinha for owning a three-storied house in the US bought allegedly through laundered money.
Dhaka’s Metropolitan Sessions Judge Md Asaduzaman passed the order as the investigation agency Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) could not submit the report on Sunday.
The ACC on March 31, last year, 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 document, Ananta bought the house for his brother at a cost of about Taka 2.40 crore. As the ACC could not find any legal source of the money paid for the home, it believes that the money was earned illegally or laundered from Bangladesh. - Special Correspondent
