| The Anti-corruption Commission (ACC) yesterday filed graft cases against former BNP lawmaker Abdul Wadud Bhuiyan, former Awami League lawmaker Mostafa Kamal alias Lotus Kamal and Awami Swechchhasebak League General Secretary Pankaj Debnath. ACC Deputy Director Nurul Alam lodged a case yesterday with Khagrachhari Police Station accusing Abdul Wadud Bhuiyan of illegally amassing wealth worth around Tk 6.15 crore. In the case, the ACC official mentioned that Wadud provided false information in his wealth statement submitted to the commission on February 25. Nurul Alam, also the investigation officer (IO) of the case, in the first information report (FIR) said Wadud's wealth did not match his statement. Wadud earlier said he has properties worth Tk 4.75 crore but the ACC investigation team found Tk 6.16 crore of wealth, which he amassed illegally. He also did not give any income tax for the money. Meanwhile, ACC Deputy Director Shirin Parveen filed a case against Lotus Kamal and his wife Kashmiri Kamal with Gulshan Police Station for concealing information about wealth worth Tk 80 lakh in their statement submitted to the ACC. ACC Assistant Director Abdul Latif filed a case against Pankaj Debnath with Dhanmondi Police Station yesterday for a discrepancy of over Tk 65.16 lakh in his wealth statement submitted to the ACC. On Wednesday, the anti-graft body filed corruption cases against three former ministers and their family members and a former lawmaker. |
