The Special Judge Court of Dhaka on Tuesday sent former deputy governor of Bangladesh Bank Sitangshu Kumar Sur, popularly known as SK Sur, to jail following a case filed by the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC).
ACC Deputy Director Nazmul Hussain produced him before the court of Senior Special Judge Zakir Hossain Galib and prayed for detaining him in jail.
Earlier, he was arrested by the Detective Branch (DB) of police from the city's Segunbagicha area following a request from the ACC.
The ACC Deputy Director told the court that they earlier served notices to him, his wife, and other dependents to submit the wealth statement to the anti-graft body, but he did not comply with the requirement of the ACC.
The ACC brought allegations against him for acquiring huge wealth and assets beyond his known source of income.
On October 27, he received a notice from the ACC to submit his wealth statement within 21 days, but he did not submit the statement. As a result, the ACC filed a case against him, his wife, and dependents under Section 26(2) of the Corruption Prevention Act 2004.
