The High Court on Wednesday directed the Anti-Corruption Commission to conduct inquiry into the properties of former managing director of BASIC Bank Kazi Fakhrul Islam and former deputy managing director Fazlus Sobhan.

A bench of Justice M Enayetur Rahim and Justice Sahidul Karim on Wednesday afternoon passed the order after granting bails of four accused including DMD FazlusSobhan.

According to an inquiry of Bangladesh Bank, about Tk.45 billion was swindled out from BASIC Bank in 2015, says a UNB report.

In September of 2015, the ACC filed 54 cases with three police stations accusing 156 individuals including 26 BASIC bank officials in this regard.
