The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) has resumed the interrogation of former BASIC Bank Chairman Sheikh Abdul Hye Bachchu over a Tk 35 billion loan fraud accusation.

The second day of Bachchu’s questioning began at 10am on Wednesday, said ACC Deputy Director (Media) Pranab Kumar Bhattacharya.

ACC Directors AKM Zayed Hossain Khan and Syed Iqbal are leading the interrogation.

Questioning began Monday, when the former BASIC Bank executive answered a summons to appear at the ACC offices in Segunbagicha. The session lasted about two-and-a-half hours.

During the interrogation, according to a bdnews24 report, Bachchu told the media he believed himself innocent.

The ACC began questioning people in connection with the loan fraud investigation on October 22 of this year.
