Bacchu was examined by doctors when he fell sick around 2:00pm, the officer told The Daily Star this afternoon.

He came out of the ACC office around 5:00pm. 

The ACC on November 23 summoned Bacchu and 10 former directors of the bank to its office for interrogation in scam cases involving around Tk 4,500 crore.
