Dhaka: The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) today filed a case against Sheikh Fazlul Karim Selim, former Member of Parliament of Gopalganj-2, for acquiring wealth beyond his known sources of income.
According to Bangladesh Sangbad Sangstha, the ACC accused Selim of misusing his position and engaging in irregularities in tender processes across the country. He allegedly took commissions ranging from 10-15% from preferred contractors on projects worth about TK 13,000 crore.
ACC investigations revealed that Selim accumulated assets worth about TK 13.59 crore, which is inconsistent with his declared income. The case has been filed under section 27(1) of the Anti-Corruption Commission Act, 2004.
In addition, orders have been issued under section 26(1) of the same law for his wife, Fatema Selim, his sons Sheikh Fazle Fahim and Sheikh Fazle Naeem, and his daughter Sheikh Amena Sultana Sonia, to submit their detailed declarations of assets. The ACC Director General Md. Akhtar Hossain disclosed this during a regular media briefing at the commission’s headquarters.
