The Anti Corruption Commission (ACC) on Wednesday arrested three bank officials from the capital in separate graft cases.

The bank officials were arrested in two separate cases filed against them on charges of misappropriating money from Dhaka South city’s Maghbazar, Pallabi and Tallabag areas.

ACC deputy director Jahangir Alam arrested ICB Islamic Bank Limited general manager Humayun Kabir and former executive officer of the bank Ashfaqul Hakim in a case filed over loan scam, said ACC public relations officer Pranab Kumar Bhattacharya, reports UNB.

On March 1 2007, a case was filed against the bank officials and others for allegedly swindling out Tk 1.84 crore from Kawran Bazar branch of then Oriental Bank Limited (now ICB Islami Bank Limited).

Besides, an ACC team, led by Dhaka district office 1 assistant director Monirul Haque, arrested former manager of Janata Bank’s Uttar Khan branch Md Mozahar Ali from the city’s Moghbazar area in a graft case filed against him in 2008.

According to first information report, Mozahar Ali withdrew over Tk 5.59 lakh from the bank through transferring money to an account illegally at the branch.

The lone anti-graft watchdog earlier arrested several former and incumbent bank officials for the same charge.
