Narayanganj: The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) today filed two cases against the dismissed officer-in-charge (OC) of Sonargaon Thana, Morshed Alam, and his wife, Chand Sultana, on allegations of acquiring wealth beyond known sources of income and providing false information in their wealth statements. ACC Deputy Director (Public Relations) Md Akhtar Hossain made this disclosure during a regular media briefing at the commission's headquarters.
According to Bangladesh Sangbad Sangstha, the cases were filed at the commission's Integrated District Office in Narayanganj by Deputy Assistant Director Md Moshiur Rahman. The first case targets Morshed Alam, accusing him of acquiring wealth valued at approximately Taka 1,15,02,616, which surpasses his known sources of income. The allegations suggest that this wealth was amassed through the misuse of official power over his police career.
The second case involves his wife, Chand Sultana, with Morshed Alam named as a co-accused. She is accused of acquiring assets worth Tk 3,86,84,199 beyond known income sources and providing false information in her wealth statement. The ACC asserts that Morshed Alam, through corruption and abuse of authority during his service, accumulated these illegal assets. In collaboration with his wife, he allegedly registered and retained the properties in her name.
The cases were filed under sections 26(2) and 27(1) of the Anti-Corruption Commission Act, 2004, and section 5(2) of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1947.
