A Dhaka court sentenced former Bangladesh Bank deputy governor Sitangshu Kumar, known as S K Sur Chowdhury, to three years in prison for failing to submit an asset declaration in a case filed by the Anti-Corruption Commission. Special Judge Ayesha Nasrin of Dhaka’s Special Judge Court No. 2 delivered the verdict at about 11 a.m. on Tuesday, July 28.

According to the ACC allegation, Sur was served a notice requiring him to disclose all movable and immovable assets, liabilities, sources of income and acquisition details held in his name, in the names of dependants, or anonymously. The notice was linked to allegations that he owned assets beyond known income. He did not submit the declaration within 21 working days after receiving the order.

ACC Deputy Director Nazmul Hossain filed the case on December 23, 2024, under Section 26(2) of the Anti-Corruption Commission Act, 2004. Deputy Director Md Ahsan Uddin submitted the charge sheet on August 4, 2025. The court framed charges on November 6, 2025, and heard all seven witnesses. The ACC arrested Sur in Segunbagicha on January 14, 2025, and he has remained in jail since then.
