Sources said a man on behalf of Hafiz Ibrahim, one of the 50 corrupt suspects listed by Anti-Corruption Commission, had deposited an account payee cheque to Dutch-Bangla Bank's Shimrail branch.

The cheque had signature of former BNP lawmaker, also elder brother of Giasuddin Al Mamun and a business partner of BNP Senior Joint Secretary General Tarique Rahman, on it.

Receiving the cheque, the bank authorities contacted army personnel in Dhaka regarding drawing

of such a large amount at a time.

Deputy Director of Narayanganj ACC Benazir Ahmed attached the account with permission from First Class Magistrate Anwarul Islam.

Meanwhile, the person, who went to draw the money, left the bank before the army personnel's presence there.

An ACC official said preparation was on to file a case in this connection.

Ibrahim, a former lawmaker from a Bhola constituency, was arrested when he went to the ACC to submit his wealth statement on Sunday.

He was shown arrested in cases filed for corruption and creating panic among the people and sent to jail on Monday.
