The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) has approved filing a case against Sitangshu Kumar Sur Chowdhury (SK Sur Chowdhury), former Deputy Governor of Bangladesh Bank, along with his wife, Suparna Sur Chowdhury, and daughter, Nandita Sur Chowdhury.

"Following an inquiry into allegations of corruption, a report was submitted," said ACC Deputy Director Md. Aktarul Islam to The Business Standard on Monday (23 December). 

He also said based on the findings and in line with the commission's decision, the accused were required to submit their wealth statements within a specified timeframe as per Subsection (1) of Section 26 of the Anti-Corruption Commission Act, 2004 (Act No. 5 of 2004). 

"Their failure to comply led to the approval of a case against them under the aforementioned section for non-submission", he added.
