PK Halder swindle: Associate Shankha Bepari gives confessional statement

Shankha Bepari has given confessional statement before a Dhaka court in a case filed over former NRB Global Bank managing director PK Halder's illegal amassing of Tk 275 crore.

He was produced before the court after three days of interrogation on Tuesday.

Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) Deputy Director Salahuddin sought the court's permission to record Bepari's statement.

Metropolitan Magistrate Morshed Al Mamun Bhuiyan recorded the statement and sent him to jail.

Halder embezzled crores of taka in the name of the fake organisations.

On Jan 8, ACC Deputy Director Mamunur Rashid Chowdhury filed a case against him for illegally amassing about Tk 275 crore.
