The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) has summoned Bashundhara Group Chairman Ahmed Akbar Sobhan and his family members for questioning over allegations of land grabbing, embezzlement of loan funds, and money laundering. In a letter sent on Tuesday, they were asked to appear at the ACC Headquarters in Dhaka’s Segunbagicha on May 25 and 26. Sobhan, his wife Afroza Begum, their eldest son Sadat Sobhan, and Sadat’s wife Sonia Ferdousi Sobhan have been summoned for May 25. On May 26, the ACC will quiz Managing Director Sayem Sobhan Anvir, his wife Sabrina Sobhan, Co-Chairman Sadat, Vice-Chairmen Shafiat Sobhan (Sanvir) and Safwan Sobhan along with Safwan’s wife Yasha Sobhan. That same month, a court imposed a travel ban on eight members of the Sobhan family following a plea by the ACC.
