ACC Khulna official Md Jamal Uddin Faruq said Grameen Bank employee Ranesh Biswas was arrested on Monday night from Jessore’s Bagharparha Upazila.
Biswas is the second officer at the Grameen Bank’s Chandanpur branch in Satkhira’s Kolaroa.
Jamal Uddin told bdnews24.com that Biswas had produced false bank loan documents under 126 names, withdrawing over Tk 1.6 million from Jul 9, 2009 to Jun 8, 2010.
“Although he paid Tk 499,681 in several instalments, Biswas embezzled Tk 561,629,” the ACC official added.
A Khulna court rejected Biswas’s bail plea and sent him to jail on Tuesday.
Jamal Uddin added that ACC Assistant Director SM Shamim Iqbal had filed an embezzlement case with Kolaroa Police against Biswas in 2014.
