There are a number of educational institutions, NGOs and social organisations in Pabna set up and controlled by Jamaat. These include Darul Aman Trust, Muslim Aid--an NGO, Imam Gazzali Scool and College, Islamia College. More government relief materials might be recovered from the Jamaat-run institutions, sources said.

Muslim Aid, Pabna Darul Aman Trust and Imam Gazzali Institution have been mentioned specially on the watch list", Officer-in-Charge of Pabna Sadar police station Iqbal Shafi told this correspondent.

Police seized 160 CI sheets from Al-Amana Hospital, an establishment of Jamaat controlled Al-Amana Foundation at Pathertala in Pabna town, owned by Moulana Abdus Subhan.

It followed filing of a case against Abdus Subhan, chairman of Al-Amnana Foundation; its vice-president Alhaj Abul Kashem, secretary Moslam Uddin and director of Al-Amana Hospital Nurul Islam for alleged misappropriation of government relief materials.

Police have submitted application to court to transfer the case to Anti-corruption Commission (ACC).

"We have submitted application to Pabna Cognizance Court-1 to transfer the case to Anti-corruption Commission. We talked to the Assistant Director of Pabna Anti Corruption Commission office," the OC said.

The alleged misappropriation of government CI sheets by Jamaat men has become a talk of the town.

"They (Jamaat men) claimed themselves to be clean. Corruption by them is now coming out. These should be probed and persons responsible punished," said advocate Shamsul Haque Tuku , secretary of Pabna district Awami League while talking to this correspondent yesterday.

Pabna BNP secretary Habibur Rahman Tota said, "Though Jamaat was a component of 4-Party alliance, we will not own their (Jamaat) misdeeds. We also want probe into the misappropriation of government CI sheets" .

Al-Amana Foundation has refuted the allegation of misappropriation of government relief CI sheets. These were sanctioned under legal procedure, said a press release issued by Tariqul Islam on behalf of the Foundation.

"We got sanction of 20 bundles of CI sheets on April 8 last year, made by former lawmaker Moulana Abdus Subhan.

The CI sheets had been sanctioned for Al-Amana Foundation. We applied to Pabna Sadar Upazilla Nirbahi Officer on June 2 this year for permission to use the CI sheets, the press release said.
