Ex-BB deputy governor SK Sur gets 3yrs in jail

Former Bangladesh Bank deputy governor Sitangshu Kumar Sur, also known as SK Sur Chowdhury, was sentenced to three years in prison on Tuesday in a case filed by the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) for failing to submit a wealth statement.

Judge Ayesha Nasrin of Dhaka Special Judges' Court-2 delivered the verdict, ACC prosecutor Abul Kalam Azad said.

Sur was produced before the court from jail and sent back to prison with a conviction warrant after the verdict.
The ACC arrested the former central bank official in the capital's Segunbagicha on 14 January, and he has remained behind bars since.
