Former BASIC Bank chairman Sheikh Abdul Hye Bacchu has been delaying an ongoing enquiry into allegations that he was involved in loan scams amounting to Tk 4,500 crore between 2010 and 2013, Anti-Corruption Commission officials say.

Around Tk 20 crore was transferred to bank accounts of two firms, owned by Sheikh Abdul Hye Bacchu's younger brother, from several companies that got loans from BASIC Bank through scams when Bacchu was its chairman.

A parliamentary watchdog yesterday blasted the Anti-Corruption Commission for failing to expose corruption committed by former BASIC Bank chairman Sheikh Abdul Hye Bacchu.
