ACC allowed to quiz Falu at jail gate

A Dhaka court yesterday permitted the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) to interrogate detained former BNP lawmaker Mosaddak Ali Falu at the Dhaka Central Jail gate in connection with a graft case.
Metropolitan Magistrate Mizanur Rahman passed the order after ACC Assistant Director Jahangir Alam submitted a petition to interrogate Falu for the sake of proper investigation.
ACC Assistant Director Rahilee Khatun filed the case with the Motijheel Police Station against Falu and his wife Mahbuba Sultana on July 8 for giving false statements about their known source of income to the ACC. Moreover, they amassed Tk 60,61,91,279 through corruption.
The case was filed against them under sections 26(2)/27(1) of the Anti- Corruption Commission Act-2004, section 15(Kha)(5) of the Emergency Power Rules and section 109 of the Bangladesh Penal Code.
Two more cases were filed with the Tejgaon and the Ashulia police stations against Falu on different dates this year for misusing government property.
