ACC raids hospital, passport office, bank in three districts

Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) on Monday (October 20) launched simultaneous enforcement drives at Cox’s Bazar Sadar Hospital, the Naogaon passport office and the Noakhali branch of Ansar-VDP Unnayan Bank over allegations of irregularities.

ACC enforcement teams began the operations in the morning, commission sources said.

At Cox’s Bazar Sadar Hospital, investigators are probing complaints that government-supplied medicines earmarked for patients were diverted for sale at private pharmacies, alongside wider allegations of service-related malpractice and harassment.

In Naogaon, ACC’s integrated district office is investigating claims that unscrupulous passport officials and associates facilitated Bangladeshi citizenship documents for Indian nationals through passport fraud.

Separately, the Noakhali branch of Ansar-VDP Unnayan Bank is under scrutiny after allegations that corrupt officials siphoned off several crore taka by booking fictitious loans under various names and heads.

ACC sources said further details will be shared upon completion of the operations.
