Shahjalal Bank director on remand

A Chittagong court has sent Shahjalal Islami Bank’s Director Mohammed Solaiman to seven-day police remand in a case over misappropriation of bank money. Shahjalal Islami Bank authorities had filed the case against Solaiman with the Kotwali Police Station in Chittagong on Apr 13, alleging misappropriation of Tk 1.49 billion. Later, the Anti Corruption Commission (ACC) recorded the case. ACC officials arrested him on Jun 25 in a raid on Akram Tower at Bijoy Nagar in Dhaka. After being detained following an ACC probe, Solaiman claimed he had been victimised by AK Azad, the present back chairman.
