ACC prosecutes JP MP Kazi Firoz Rashid for grabbling land of ex-diplomat

Anti Corruption Commission (ACC) has procesuted Jatiya Party Presidium Member and MP Kazi Firoz Rashid for allegedly encoraching land of a former diplomat in upscale Dhanmondi by forging documents.

ACC Deputy Director Julfiqar Ali started the case with Tejgaon police on Wednesday.
