A Pabna special court has sentenced a former Grameen Bank official to five years in prison in an embezzlement case filed by the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC). Along with the prison term, he was fined 9 lakh 24 thousand 8 Taka for misappropriating funds. Pabna Special Judge Court Judge Abu Saleh Md. Salahuddin Khan delivered the verdict on Wednesday noon. The convicted bank official was present in court during the verdict and was later sent to jail.
According to the case statement, from August 2009 to April 2014, Senior Center Manager Syed Abdullah Al Mamun, Syed Nazrul Islam, and Branch Manager Anwar Hossain embezzled money through forgery and showing fake loan distributions in collusion.

Following this incident, then ACC Assistant Director Saidur Rahman filed a case at Sirajganj Kamarkhanda police station on January 24, 2019. After a long hearing and evaluation of evidence, the court announced the verdict, while acquitting the other two accused officials due to lack of proven charges.
