In a report filed with the High Court on Tuesday, the graft watchdog held the bank responsible for the fiasco. It said that loans are given based on records from Bangladesh Bank and Sonali Bank and the investigators played no part in it. ACC counsel Khurshid Alam Khan said that the report sought to make Bangladesh Bank, Sonali Bank, United Commercial Bank Limited (UCBL), and City Bank parties in the matter. The ACC summoned jute mill worker Jahalam over the matter five years ago through a letter sent to his Tangail residence. He was released on February 4, a day after it was brought to the High Court’s attention that he was serving time instead of Salek.
