ACC files case against 6 Rajuk officials, Golden Monir, 2 others

The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) has filed a case against nine people including officials of Rajdhani Unnayan Kartripakkha (Rajuk) and notorious criminal Golden Monir for embezzling government property.

The accused officials are former assistant director Nasir Uddin Sharif, Deputy Director Didarul Alam, and office assistants Parvez Chowdhury, Anwar Hossain, SM Touhidul Islam and Alauddin Sarkar. 

Monir Hossain, also known as Golden Monir, and his two associates – Mohammad Ali Jinnah and Nasir Uddin Khan – are the other accused in the case filed on Tuesday.

ACC Assistant Director Shafi Ullah filed the case with its integrated district office-1.

The probe report states that the accused, in collusion with each other, misused power to create illegal seals, making fake documents and also make fake land lease documents and embezzled government property.

In October, 2019, former Rajuk chairman Sultan Ahmed raided the room of these offices after receiving allegations and seized 70 files, one laptop, 15 illegal seals and pads, 170 certificates, one registration book and various other documents. 

During the drive, Nasir, known as Golden Monir's assistant, and Rajuk official Parvez Chowdhury were seen working in the room. At one stage, Nasir escaped but Parvez was arrested and handed over to the police. 

They were working at the directives of “Golden Monir”.

On November 20, 2020, members of the Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) arrested Golden Monir from Badda area of the capital and filed three cases against him on charges of possessing illegal firearms, foreign alcohol and foreign currency.
