Dhaka:The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) has filed a charge sheet against M A Taher, a Director of UniPay2U Bangladesh Limited, for acquiring assets valued at 11.5 million taka, which are inconsistent with his known sources of income.
According to Bangladesh Sangbad Sangstha, the information was revealed by Md. Saidur Rahman Khan, Secretary of the ACC, during a media briefing. He stated that a case against M A Taher had been lodged on November 11, 2020, at the ACC's Integrated District Office, Dhaka-1, under section 27(1) of the ACC Act, 2004.
Initially, the allegations concerned assets worth 4 million taka, believed to be disproportionate to Taher's known income. However, further investigation uncovered that Taher had acquired immovable assets worth 5 million taka and movable assets totaling 6.5 million taka, culminating in 11.5 million taka, which could not be justified by his known income sources.
As a result of these findings, the ACC has proceeded with submitting a charge sheet against him under section 27(1) of the ACC Act, 2004. The investigation was conducted by Tapas Bhattacharya, an assistant director at the ACC headquarters.
