Khulna:The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) has initiated legal proceedings against S M Mahbubur Rahman, a former administrative officer of the Khulna District Council. He is accused of acquiring assets worth Tk 2.51 crore beyond his known sources of income and failing to disclose assets worth nearly Tk 50 lakh in his wealth statement.
According to Bangladesh Sangbad Sangstha, the cases were filed by ACC Assistant Director Md Zahid Fazal at the ACC's Khulna Integrated District Office on Sunday afternoon.
The case statements reveal that Mahbubur Rahman declared immovable assets valued at Tk 76.77 lakh and movable assets worth Tk 1.72 crore in his wealth statement, totaling Tk 2.49 crore.
