DHAKA, Aug 27, 2018 (BSS) – The Anti-Corruption (ACC) is set to lodge a case against three officials of the state-run Janata Bank Limited on charges of embezzling Taka 2.35 crore.

Patuakhali regional office senior officer of Janata Bank Md Golam Azam, second officer of Natunbazar branch, Meer Jalaluddin, and its former SEO (senior executive officer) Md Nazrul Islam will be sued in the case, as ACC has found their involvement in misusing the money.
