ACC starts probe into irregularities of its officials

The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) has launched an investigation to find out if any of its officials is involved in taking undue favour from any individual or organisation, said its Chairman Ghulam Rahman yesterday.
Ghulam said, "I instructed the ACC secretary to find out such officials, and once the job gets done, proper steps will be taken against them."
The move came after a news report surfaced in Bangla daily the Prothom Alo yesterday that ACC Deputy Director Harunur Rashid has been using a vehicle belonging to Dhaka South City Corporation illegally.
The deputy director told the Prothom Alo that he has been using the vehicle for two-and-half years.
DSCC Superintendent Engineer Ashiqur Rahman submitted an investigation report to the corporation's administrator Nazrul Islam around two weeks ago.
In purchasing vehicles for the DSCC, irregularities have been found, said a DSCC high official.
