PK Haldar has removed 10,200 crore rupees

Prashant Kumar Haldar (PK Haldar) has removed Rs 10,200 crore, not Rs 3,500 crore. He and his closest associates have withdrawn at least Rs 10,200 crore from four financial institutions. This information has appeared in a report by the Bangladesh Bank’s Financial Intelligence Unit (BFIU). The four companies through which the money has been withdrawn are Rs 2500 crore from International Leasing and Financial Services Limited, Rs 3000 crore from People’s Leasing and Financial Services Limited, Rs 2000 crore from Fas Finance and Investment Limited (FAS) and Rs 2000 crore from FASIL. Rs 2,500 crore was removed from Finance Limited. It was learned that the money was transferred against the institution on paper in the name of the loan through manipulation. BFIU has sent this report to the ACC.
The sources said the wrongdoing was committed with the help of 25 to 30 people, including some of the organizations. The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) has already questioned 19 of them. Furthermore, the bank accounts of 73 people, including PK Haldar, have so far been seized on charges of direct and indirect involvement in these scams. Investigators said PK used 30 companies owned by Haldar and his associates to embezzle 10.2 billion rupees in loans from the NBFI and smuggle the money into Canada, Singapore and India. Last year, the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) launched an investigation into the assets of illegal casino owners, raising misappropriation charges against PK Haldar. On January 8 this year, the ACC filed a case against him for acquiring property worth around Tk 265 crore from unknown sources. The ACC and the Bangladesh Financial Intelligence Unit (BFIU) are investigating the matter.
