Dhaka: The Anti Corruption Commission (ACC) has initiated an investigation against former President Abdul Hamid following allegations of causing losses to state resources for personal luxury during his time in office. ACC Director General Md. Akhtar Hossain shared this information with journalists at a regular media briefing held at the commission headquarters.
According to Bangladesh Sangbad Sangstha, the investigation targets claims that Abdul Hamid, along with others, abused their power to incur a loss of Taka 240 million to the state.
