The Anti-Corruption Commission in 2014 prosecuted one Abu Saleque in 33 cases on charges related to loan fraud involving around Tk 185 million in Sonali Bank. The anti-graft agency had issued a summons for Saleque but the order went to one ‘Jahalom’ from Tangail instead. The photo used to open the Sonali Bank account was not his either, he had told the ACC. Two officials of the bank, however, identified Jahalom as Saleque and the jute-mill worker was arrested in Ghorashal in 2016. Of the Tk 185 million swindled through the embezzlement scheme, one of the loans was taken out from Sonali Bank.
