ACC quizzes ex-BASIC Bank chairman Bacchu

Former BASIC Bank chairman Sheikh Abdul Hye Bacchu has been interrogated by the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) in scam cases.

After coming out of the ACC headquarters around 1:45pm, Bacchu told reporters that the cases are under investigation and he will face the investigators again if asked.

Earlier in the morning, Pranab Kumar Bhattacharya, ACC public relations officer, told The Daily Star that the former BASIC bank chairman will be interrogated by several investigation officers of different cases.

The ACC on November 23 summoned Bacchu and 10 former directors of the bank to its office for interrogation in scam cases involving around Tk 4,500 crore.

The move came over two years after the graft watchdog filed 56 cases against bankers over the loan scam that took place in the state-run bank between 2010 and 2013.
