ACC finds illegal money, assets over Tk 100cr in ex-SSF chief’s name

City Desk :

Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) has found bank balance of Tk 100 crore and illegally acquired moveable and immoveable assets in the names of former director general of Special Security Force (SSF) Mujibur Rahman and his wife Tasrin Mujib.

Deputy Director (DD) of ACC Mohammad Sirajul Haque, also the chief of a three-member inquiry team, told BSS on Monday that they found the evidences of the money and illegal assets within four days of their investigation after getting approval from the commission before Eid vacation.

The Senior Special Judge of the Dhaka Metropolitan Sessions Court Zakir Hossain yesterday instructed the concerned authorities to freeze all the bank accounts of Mujibur Rahman and his wife and freeze bank accounts along with their moveable and immoveable assets and properties following an application submitted by the ACC, reports BSS.

Major General Mujibur Rahman was the Director General (DG) of the SSF till August 5 last year. Mujibur Rahman and his wife Tasrin Mujib have been absconding since August 5 last year.

The ACC sources alleged that Mujib has acquired huge illegal wealth and money over Taka 100 crore by misusing his power in his name or without name while he was in service.

He also acquired huge money and assets in his wife’s name and the names of his other relatives, which is inconsistent with his known source of income, the ACC sources said.

As a public servant, he acquired the money, assets and properties through misusing power and illegal means. He also transacted a huge amount of money through his bank accounts when he was in service as DG SSF, the sources added.
