The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) has filed a case against Faruk Hasan, a former sales assistant and ex-general secretary of the Collective Bargaining Agent (CBA) of Titas Gas Transmission and Distribution Co Ltd in Dhaka’s Karwan Bazar, for allegedly acquiring illegal assets.
Afnan Jannat Keya, assistant director of the commission, filed the case on Wednesday.
The national anti-graft commission said the former CBA leader abused power during his tenure and amassed Tk1.70 crore illegally.
On June 9, following preliminary investigation, the commission directed to submit the statements of all the movable and immovable wealth acquired in the name of Faruk Hasan, his wife and dependents within 21 working days.
Faruk collected a form for submission of his wealth statement and then applied for an extension. The court extended the deadline by 15 working days.
After Faruk still failed to submit the wealth statement, the ACC decided to file the case against him.
Earlier in August, the ACC began investigating graft allegations against 30 officials and employees of Titas Gas Distribution Limited.
More than 35 officials have been questioned during the course of the investigations.
On December 6, the ACC filed a case against Titas Gas Transmission and Distribution Company Limited Sales Assistant Syed Ayaz Uddin Ahmed and his wife Shahana Bilkis for allegedly amassing illegal wealth.
