SK Sinha’s nephew Shankhajit Sinha also deposed against him in the loan fraud case of the bank, which is currently the Padma Bank, at the court on Monday. Both of them said an account with the Uttara branch of Shahjalal Islami Bank was opened “on instructions from SK Sinha”, but they “had no idea” about the transfer of Tk 22.5 million in it. Narendra, aged 70, is SK Sinha’s elder brother and Shankhajit is the son of his maternal cousin. SK Sinha deposited the money in the account through Mahbub, according to the case dossier. The national antigraft agency later launched an investigation into allegations that the fund was deposited into Sinha’s bank account, credited as the proceeds of the sale of his house.
