On August 21, 2014, ACC Assistant Director Md Abdus Sobhan filed three cases against Bodi and two other former state ministers with Ramna police station.
The ACC sought a statement of wealth from Bodi where he showed that his family owned tangible and intangible assets worth a little over Tk5.20 crore.
However, the income tax return that he submitted in November 2013 shows that the value of their assets was more than Tk16.06 crore.
