DHAKA, Sept 23, 2019 (BSS) – A court here today set October 29 for
submitting probe report in a case lodged against former Chief Justice (CJ)
Surendra Kumar Sinha for allegedly demanding bribe.
Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Satyabrata Shikdar set the new date as
investigation officer in the case and director of Anti-Corruption Commission
(ACC) Syed Iqbal Hossain failed to submit the report today.
Bangladesh National Alliance (BNA) chairman Barrister Nazmul Huda filed
the case against the former chief justice on September 27, 2018, with
capital’s Shahbagh Police Station.

Chief Justice Sinha also allegedly demanded Taka two crore bribe from
Huda to dispose of the case.
