Dr Mosharraf charge-sheeted
The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) yesterday pressed charges against detained former health minister Dr Khondaker Mosharraf Hossain in a case filed against him for amassing wealth worth Tk 9.10 crore illegally and hiding wealth information to the commission.
ACC Deputy Assistant Director Aftab Hossain, also the investigation officer (IO) of the case, submitted the charge sheet to the Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Court, showing 23 people as prosecution witnesses.
Meanwhile, the ACC could not press charges against his wife Bilkis Akhter Hossain as the High Court (HC) had earlier stayed the proceedings of the case brought against her.
In the charge-sheet, the IO mentioned that Mosharraf had amassed wealth worth Tk 9,10,97,854 illegally and concealed information of wealth worth Tk 4,31,51,801 to the commission.
On January 10 this year, Assistant Director Shafiul Alam filed the case against Mosharraf and his wife Bilkis with Ramna Police Station in this regard.
Joint forces arrested Mosharraf from his Banani residence in the city on March 7 last year. Later, he was shown arrested in a number of cases, including that of graft and extortion charges.
