A Dhaka court has set 28 July to deliver the verdict in a case against former Bangladesh Bank deputy governor SK Sur Chowdhury for failing to submit his wealth statement.
After hearing arguments from both the prosecution and the defense, Judge Ayesha Nasrin of Dhaka’s Special Judge Court‑2 announced the date for delivering the judgement.
Bench Assistant Md Dewan Ashiq confirmed the information.
According to the case documents, Sur was accused of possessing wealth beyond known sources of income. He was served a notice requiring him to submit, within 21 working days, a detailed statement of all movable and immovable assets acquired in his own name or in the names of dependents, along with liabilities, sources of income, and acquisition details. However, he failed to comply within the stipulated time.
Following this, on 23 December 2024, ACC Deputy Director Nazmul Hossain filed the case under Section 26(2) of the Anti‑Corruption Commission Act, 2004. On 4 August of the following year, Deputy Director Md Ahsan Uddin submitted the charge sheet against Sur.
On 6 November 2025, the court framed charges and ordered the trial to begin. During proceedings, testimony from all seven witnesses was recorded.
It may be noted that on 14 January 2025, ACC arrested the former deputy governor from the Segunbagicha area of Dhaka. He has remained in custody since then.
