The Anti-Corruption Commission has filed a case against Delta Group Chairman AKM Faruque Ahamed, his wife Ferdous Ara Begum, and 13 others for embezzling Tk 682.76 million through fraudulent loans.
The case was lodged on Sunday at ACC’s Segunbagicha integrated district office (Dhaka-1), said ACC Director General Akhtar Hossain.
Other accused include Southeast Bank Motijheel corporate branch officials Imam Bokhari, Mozammel Haque, Morshed Alam Mamun, Anwarul Kabir, Abdul Baten Chowdhury, Abdus Sabur, Nasim Sikandar, Md Nasir Uddin, Sardar Md Hazzaz, Abdur Rahman Chowdhury, artist Rani Das, Shyamal Kumar Chowdhury, and Kazi Abu Taher.
The ACC alleges that Faruque, managing director of The Delta Accessories Limited, and his wife colluded with bank officials to withdraw Tk 589.06 million from nine accounts under the guise of loans.
By Nov 26, 2023, total bank dues including interest and charges reached Tk 1.59 billion.
On the same day, Tk 910.79 million was repaid, but Tk 682.76 million remained unpaid and was allegedly misappropriated.
The commission has initiated legal proceedings to recover the funds and hold the accused accountable under anti-corruption laws.
