The Anti Corruption Commission is likely to seek a wealth statement from ruling party lawmaker Abdur Rahman Badi on charge of accumulating illegal wealth, an ACC official said.
He said the investigation officer of the case yesterday submitted a primary inquiry report to ACC where he recommended that the commission should serve a wealth statement notice to the Cox’s Bazar 4 constituency lawmaker to trace the reasons behind his phenomenal rise of wealth.
ACC Deputy Director Ahsan Ali has submitted the report to the special inquiry and investigation department of the commission yesterday.
After having the commission’s approval, the notice will ask the lawmaker to submit a wealth statement including his movable and immovable properties.
On Sunday, Badi said he would resign from his parliamentary post if the graft allegation were found to be true.
Earlier, the investigation officer visited different administrative offices and collected documents related to the MP’s wealth, sources said adding that the official had also acquired the wealth statement of the lawmaker and income tax return statements of MP Badi and his wife Shahina Akhter.
