ACC sues Shahida Obaid and 12 senior ex- officials

The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) yesterday filed a case against 13 senior ex-officials of the Secondary and Higher Secondary Education Board, Dhaka, including its former chairman, secretary, controller, deputy controller and assistant controller, for misappropriation of about Tk 24.37 lakh.
ACC Assistant Director Abu Bakar Siddique filed the first information report (FIR) with Lalbagh Police Station against former Dhaka Board chairman Shahida Obaid, secretary Harun ur Rashid, controller Farhad Hossain, deputy controller Nazmul Haq, assistant controller Abdur Rahman, CBA leader Golam Rasul and seven others for misappropriation of Tk about 24.37 lakh in the name of development of workers' union.
The case was filed under sections 109 and 409 of the penal code and section 5(2) of the Corruption Prevention Act, 1947.
Shahida Obaid, wife of late BNP leader KM Obaidur Rahman, told The Daily Star over phone last night, “The case is baseless and false. We have all the documents with us. Filing a Tk 23 lakh case against 13 people is ridiculous and it's been done only to tarnish my image.”
