DHAKA: Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) issued a legal notice seeking wealth statement of former state minister for housing and public works Abdul Mannan Khan and his wife Syeda Hasina Sultana on Tuesday.
The notice was issued asking him to submit the details of the fixed and liquid money within seven working days.
ACC deputy director Nasir Uddin submitted a report against Abdul Mannan on a charge of corruption and gaining ‘huge’ amount of wealth.
The investigation team asked a permission to issue a legal notice against him stating that he has gained a huge amount of wealth in past five-year tenure.
The investigation team also claimed that Abdul Mannan’s income has increased to 107 times more than the previous years.
However, in a response the anti-graft body issued a legal notice asking his statement of wealth.
ACC deputy director (public relations) Pranab Kumar Bhattacharya confirmed the matter to banglanews.
