Report in graft case against SK Sinha on July 13

DHAKA, May 08, 2023 (BSS) - A Dhaka court today set July 13 for submitting 
probe report in a graft case filed against former chief justice Surendra 
Kumar Sinha by the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC).

Dhaka Metropolitan Sessions Judge Asaduzzaman set the date as investigation 
agency Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) couldn't submit the report today.

On October 10, 2021, ACC deputy director Md Gulshan Anwar filed the case 
against Sinha for amassing wealth of Taka 7.14 crore on his brother and 
relative's names through misuse of power, later transferring and handing over 
the money.

The ACC in its probe found that the former chief justice paid Taka 75 lakh to 
Rajuk against a plot in Uttara and raised a nine-floor apartment complex on 
it at a cost of Taka 6.31 crore. 

The anti-graft body however, said that they did not find any legal source of 
earning for the money used in buying the plot and developing the apartment 
complex.
