A fugitive Ansar-VDP Unnayan Bank officer has been arrested in Chattogram on charges of embezzling nearly Tk9 crore in two corruption cases.
Mohammad Alamgir had been on the run since the embezzlement cases were filed by the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC).
Acting on a tip-off, RAB-11 members made the arrest on Saturday night, said RAB Company Commander Mithun Kumar Kundu.
According to ACC case documents, Alamgir embezzled the money through corruption while serving as manager of the Noakhali and Senbagh branches of Ansar-VDP Unnayan Bank.
In the first case, he is accused of embezzling Tk6.99 crore by issuing loans to fake borrowers. The second case accuses him of misappropriating Tk1.88 crore by showing the disbursement of 89 fake loans.
In total, ACC has brought charges of Tk8.87 crore embezzlement against him from the two branches.
ACC officials earlier raided the branches, seized documents and identified irregularities and clear evidence of forgery. Based on these findings, two cases were filed against Alamgir with the Noakhali Special Senior Judge’s Court.
