ACC questions Khulna Jamaat chief Parwar

The Anti-Corruption Commission yesterday questioned Khulna Jamaat-e-Islami chief and the party’s Assistant Secretary General Mia Golam Parwar at Khulna Jail Gate, on charges of amassing illegal wealth.

The ACC questioned the detained Jamaat leader from 10am to 11:30am, ACC Deputy Director Farid Uddin Patwary, who is the investigation officer of the case, told the Dhaka Tribune.

Earlier, ACC officials conducted drives in Khulna city, collected necessary documents and questioned many individuals in connection with the allegations against the Jamaat leader.

Sources at the ACC said the investigation officer had almost completed his inquiry report in the case and needed the statement of the Jamaat leader before submitting the report to the commission.

In August last year, the Detective Branch of Police arrested Professor Mia Golam Parwar in the Khulna Jail Gate area immediately after he was released from prison. Parwar was earlier sent to jail on charges of vandalism and obstructing police work.
