The Anti Corruption Commission (ACC) has filed a case against Lakshmipur Model Union Parishad Chairman Md Selim Khan accusing him of amassing illegal wealth worth Tk34.5 crore and hiding wealth information.
ACC Deputy Director Ataur Rahman filed the case with the Anti Corruption Commission Integrated District Office-1 on Monday.
According to the investigation report, allegations of amassing illegal assets worth Tk34.5 crore have been found against Selim Khan.
Moreover, he has been accused of concealing information about Tk67 lakh in his wealth statement to the commission.
On September 20, 2020, the commission issued a notice to Selim Khan and his wife Shahanara Begum asking them to submit their wealth statements after finding preliminary evidence of illegal assets.
The enforcement team of the anti-graft watchdog conducted a raid on April 6 this year following allegations of misappropriation of around Tk400 crore by showing a price of about 20 times higher than the government fixed price for land acquisition of Chandpur University of Science and Technology.
However, he could not embezzle the amount as the matter came to light, said the commission secretary.
On April 27, ACC imposed a ban on foreign travel for Lakshmipur Union Parishad Chairman Selim Khan.
