Report in graft case against ex-CJ SK Sinha on April 24

The Dhaka Metropolitan Sessions Judge's Court on Sunday set April 24 for submitting probe report in a graft case filed against former chief justice Surendra Kumar Sinha by the Anti-Corruption Commission.

Judge (in-charge) Faisal Atiq Bin Kader of the court set the date as investigation agency Anti-Corruption Commission couldn't submit the report on Sunday, the scheduled date for submitting the charge sheet.

The ACC on March 31, 2022, 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 documents, Ananta Kumar Sinha bought the house at a cost of around Taka 2.40 crore.

As the ACC couldn't identify any legal source of the money paid for the home, it believes that the money was earned illegally or laundered from Bangladesh.
