ACC seeks Ruhal's sources of wealth
Anti-Corruption Commission has asked former Health Minister AFM Ruhal Haque to submit sources of his wealth before it within seven days.
The ACC came up with the order after quizzing Ruhal and his son Ziaul Haque for two and a half hours at its Segunbagicha office in the capital yesterday, said a source.
A top official of ACC said the former minister already has submitted some documents on his wealth.
Based on Ruhal's wealth statement submitted to the Election Commission it was found that he had properties worth Tk 4.99 crore in 2008 which had increased to around Tk 9 crore in 2013 while his wife had wealth of around Tk 97 lakh which had increased to around Tk 7.50 crore during the period.
On January 22 this year, ACC launched probes into corruption allegations against former ministers and current and former lawmakers, including Ruhal.
Six others are: Awami League lawmaker Abdul Rahman Bodi, former state minister for water resources Mahbubur Rahman, former state minister for housing and public affairs Abdul Mannan Khan, incumbent lawmaker Aslamul Haque (Mirpur) and former MPs Enamul Haque and Abdul Zabbar.
