An investigation later found involvement of Tarique and Salecmul.
The other accused in the case are Bashundhara Group Chairman Akbar Sobhan alias Shah Alam and his two sons Shafiat Sobhan Sanvir and Sadaat Sobhan, Abu Sufian, director of Last West Property Development Pvt Ltd, a sister concern of Bashundhara, and Tarique's private secretary Mia Nur Uddin Apu.
The ACC accused them of taking and giving the bribe to save the Bashundhara Group chairman's •on Sanvir from the charge of murdering Bashundhara Group director Humayun Kabir Sabbir on July 5,2006
Sources said investigation found that Tarique had taken Tk 1 crore bribe while Tk 6 crore was paid in cash and Tk 14 crore through cheques and pay-orders to Babar, who mobilised the amount to Saleemul's bank account in Prime Bank. Saleemul is a director of the bank.
Babar realised the bribe at different times between August 7 and September 13,2006.
