The other four people are — Shaw Wallace Bangladesh Ltd’s Managing Director M Nurul Alam and directors Rezaur Rahman, Mizanur Rahman and Syeada Ruhi Gaznabi.

Pranab Kumar Bhattacharjee, ACC’s public relations director, confirmed the development to The Business Post on Wednesday.

ACC Deputy Director Gulshan Anwar Pradhan in separate notices asked the five to appear before the commission on August 10 to face interrogation, though Halder fled the country earlier.

Pranab Kumar Bhattacharjee said, “ACC summoned Proshanto Kumar Halder and four others over the allegations of embezzling about Tk 3,500 crore from PLFS.”
