A complaint against Rongdhanu Group Chairman Rafiqul Islam has been filed with the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) for embezzling Tk270 crore through bank fraud.

Ayub Hossain, a journalist, filed the case with ACC on Sunday requesting the government agency to investigate the fraud and take action against Rafiqul.

The fraud businessman took the loan from the First Security Islami Bank’s (FSIB) Bashundhara Branch by putting up land that was already sold to several other parties as collateral.

The official of the bank didn’t know where the fund utilised although the loan released the funds in three installments.

Rafiq committed irregularities to get a loan using a deed, mutation and tax documents of the sold land measuring 93.87 decimals in a residential area in the capital in June this year.

Rongdhanu Group chairman took a loan from FSIB by submitting the deeds of the sold land as collateral on 22 June this year in the names of his and his family members – sons Mehedi Hasan Dipu and Kawsar Ahmed Opu, and Mehedi’s wife Maliha Hossain.

Rafiqul has also allegedly taken loans from other banks in different names with fake documents and asked the banks not to share any information on him with anyone.
