Law enforcement agencies still suspect businessman Karamat Choudhry of Shayana Supermarket was behind the cash deposit of K2 million in ACB boss Lucas Kondowe’s First Merchant Bank (FMB) account but he remains at large.

Police and ACB said on Thursday they are yet to arrest Choudhry.

The deposit slip indicated the money came from a Mr A. Majid.

Chouldhry is linked to illegal externalisation of funds and  immigration violations, ACB investigators informed

The suspect has been named  after ACB confirmed it has obtained a CCTV footage showing a man who made a cash deposit.

Kondowe, reported to Inspector General of Police Lexten Kachama, after he realised that in his bank account there was a deposit of K2 million from Majid.

He suspects the deposit is “work of detractors”.

Kondowe said he is interested “ to know the motive” of the depositor.
