His older brother Narendra Kumar Sinha testified against former Chief Justice Surendra Kumar Sinha (SK Sinha) in a money laundering case. Sinha’s nephew, Shankhajit Sinha, testified after his brother.
Narendra Kumar Sinha testified that, following the instructions of my brother SK Sinha, Shankhajit Shahjalal and I went to the Uttara branch of the Shahjalal Islami Bank to open a joint account.
An officer there had already arranged everything. Only our signatures are preserved after leaving. The signatures of the two are placed on every page of a checkbook. Later we returned home and later found out that the transaction amounting to Tk. 2 crore 23 lakh 59 thousand was made through that account.
Judge Sheikh Nazmul Alam of Dhaka Special Judges Court 4 took the statement on Monday. After taking the statements of the two witnesses, the court set January 13 for cross-examination.
On July 10 last year, the ACC filed a money laundering case against 11 individuals, including former Chief Justice SK Sinha, for allegedly transferring and embezzling Tk 4 crore through bogus loans. The charge sheet was filed in court on December 9 of that year.
On August 13, the court brought charges against the accused and ordered the start of the trial. After that the testimony in this case began. Meanwhile, the testimony of 15 of the 18 witnesses in the case has been completed.
Earlier, the day was set for the two to testify on December 6. But the court issued court orders against Narendra Kumar Sinha and her nephew Shankhajit Sinha for failing to testify. The two then appeared in court on Monday to testify.
