Bashundhara Group owners seek more time to appear before ACCBashundhara Group Chairman Ahmed Akbar Sobhan and his family have sought 90 days to respond to the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) summons over land expropriation, embezzlement and money laundering charges. They filed the request to the chairman of the anti-graft agency through a lawyer on Monday, ACC spokesperson Akhtarul Islam said. On May 20, the ACC sent a letter to the Sobhan family, instructing them to appear before it for questioning. Akbar, his wife Afroz Begum, their eldest son Sadat Sobhan, and Sadat’s wife Sonia Ferdousi Sobhan, were scheduled to be quizzed on Sunday. That same month, a court imposed a travel ban on eight members of the Sobhan family following a plea by the ACC.
