The anti-graft agency says it found “irregular transactions” exceeding Tk 1.77 billion

The Anti-Corruption Commission is set to file a case against former RAJUK chairman Md Siddiqur Rahman, a retired major general, over allegations of acquiring illegal assets and making suspicious transactions.

ACC Director Md Akhtarul Islam announced the development on Tuesday, saying the commission had discovered assets worth Tk 361.5 million, inconsistent with Siddiqur's known sources of income.

The probe also revealed abnormal transactions totalling Tk 1.77 billion across his bank accounts, according to the graft busters,

The investigation was led by ACC Director Md Abul Hasnat.

Attempts to reach Siddiqur for comment via mobile phone and WhatsApp went unanswered.
