ACC Secretary Saidur Rahman Khan shared this information at a press conference at the ACC headquarters in Segunbagicha in the capital at noon on Monday (November 9).

According to the ACC investigation, assets totaling Tk 1.15 crore were found in M A Taher's name, including immovable assets worth Tk 50 lakh and movable assets worth Tk 65 lakh. The agency said these assets are inconsistent with the legitimate source of income.

According to case documents, the ACC filed a case against M A Taher on November 11, 2020, on allegations of acquiring and possessing Tk 40 lakh in assets beyond known income by conducting illegal activities through fraud. The case was filed at the ACC's Dhaka-1 Integrated District Office under Section 27(1) of the Anti-Corruption Commission Act, 2004.

The case was investigated by ACC Assistant Director Tapas Bhattacharya. As the investigation found information that the accused had acquired total assets of Tk 1.15 crore beyond known income, the Commission has approved filing a charge sheet in court against him under Section 27(1) of the same Act.
