The High Court today asked why SK Sur Chowdhury, former deputy governor of Bangladesh Bank, and its Executive Director Shah Alam were not arrested yet for assisting PK Halder in embezzling and laundering huge amount of public money from four non-banking financial institutions.
The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) could have informed the immigration officials over cellphone to restrain Proshanta Kumar Halder, widely known as PK Halder, to leave the country, the court said.

The virtual bench of Justice Md Nazrul Islam Talukder and Justice Mohi Uddin Shamim suggested on Monday that the court will be forced to order arrest of SK Sur and Shah Alam if the ACC does not move in that direction.
