The Anti-Corruption Commission yesterday filed a case against former mayor of the then Dhaka City Corporation Sadek Hossain Khoka for allocating 138 shops of 10 different markets misusing power.

ACC Deputy Director Mahbubul Alam lodged the case with Shahbagh Police Station after an inquiry.

According to the case statement, 25 percent shops of a market are reserved for freedom fighters, noted personalities and for the physically challenged, but Khoka allocated these arbitrarily to others between 2005 and 2011.

Alam, also plaintiff of the case, stated that the former mayor did this in total misuse of his power.

Meanwhile, the ACC arrested four people from Dinajpur, Barisal and Feni in four separate corruption cases.

A team led by Deputy Director of ACC Abdul Karim arrested owner of Asha Agro Industries Ltd for embezzling about Tk 5 crore of Janata Bank's Dinajpur Branch. The case was lodged against him with Dinajpur Police Station in August 2012.

The ACC arrested former project implementation officer of Monpura of Bhola for pocketing about Tk 1.5 lakh from a project. A case was filed against him with Monpura Police Station in December 2014.

The anti-graft watchdog held two people Belal Hossain and Mir Hossain Bhuiyan for misappropriating about Tk 10 lakh from Sonali Bank's Feni Branch. The case was filed against Belal and Hossain with Feni Model Police Station respectively in 2015 and 2014.
