The Anti-Corruption Commission yesterday approved a charge sheet against former BNP lawmaker Shahid Uddin Chowdhury Annie for his alleged involvement in amassing illegal wealth worth Tk1.23 crore.
Annie, also the BNP students’ affairs secretary, hid information worth Tk13.13 lakh in his wealth statement submitted to the ACC, its Public Relation Officer Pranab Kumar Bhattacharya said. Earlier in the day, the anti-graft body cleared the charges.
The ACC filed the case against Annie with Ramna police on October 9 last year for accumulating wealth worth Tk1.4 crore beyond his known source of income. After the investigation, the amount of illegal wealth came down by Tk18 lakh.
An ACC official said Annie had concealed information about the registration of a piece of land for Tk3.13 lakh and a donation of Tk10 lakh to a school in Lakshmipur. The inquiry against Annie began on January 29 last year.
