The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) on Sunday launched an enforcement operation at the head office of the mobile financial service provider Nagad in Dhaka, following allegations of irregularities in recruitment and embezzlement of Tk150 crore.
The ACC team claimed to have found preliminary evidence of irregularities in the recruitment process during its operation.
Based on the findings, the commission may interrogate two individuals: Atik Morshed, personal officer to Faiz Ahmad Taiyeb, special assistant on ICT affairs to the chief adviser, and Morshed’s wife, Zakia Sultana Jui.
The ACC also sought relevant documents to verify the authenticity of the Tk150 crore embezzlement allegation.
After reviewing the records, the investigation team will submit a detailed report to the commission.
The ACC's enforcement drive commenced with a raid on Nagad's Gulshan office, according to Assistant Director Ikram Hossain.
Meanwhile, Atik and his wife, Jui, have been summoned for questioning on Monday, against charges of irregularities in recruitment.
ACC Director General Akhtar Hossain confirmed this to the media.
Atik, however, made a post on Facebook denying the allegations against him.
He claimed that he has only been to the Nagad office twice, and that too for official work.
His wife applied and got a job at Nagad based on her qualifications, he also claimed.
