A Dhaka court has set July 28 for pronouncing judgment in the graft case against former deputy governor of Bangladesh Bank SK Sur Chowdhury, filed by the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) for not filing a wealth statement. Judge Ayesha Nasrin of Dhaka Special Judge Court-2 passed the order after both prosecution and defence concluded their arguments today. The court framed charges in the case on November 6, 2025. The ACC filed the case on December 23, 2024, after Chowdhury failed to submit the wealth statement within 21 working days of receiving the ACC's notice. The anti-graft body framed the charge-sheet on August 25, 2025.

The case pertains to Chowdhury's failure to comply with the legal requirement to submit a wealth statement, a critical component in ensuring transparency and accountability in public office. The ACC's pursuit of this case underscores the importance of adhering to anti-corruption measures in Bangladesh.

Chowdhury, who held a significant position within Bangladesh's central bank, is now facing legal repercussions for his alleged non-compliance. The upcoming verdict will be closely watched, as it may set a precedent for similar cases involving public officials.

The ACC has been actively pursuing cases against individuals and entities accused of corruption, aiming to strengthen the rule of law and promote good governance in the country. The outcome of this case will likely have broader implications for anti-corruption efforts in Bangladesh.
