Dhaka, Jun 29 – The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) will file a case against four people, including the secretary of Hazrat Baizid Bostami Rahmahtullah Darbar Sharif Advocate Anowarul Islam, for "misappropriating" Tk2.5 crore.

Rafikul Islam, Yazzem Hossain Romen and Mohammad Harun-or- Rashid will also be sued in the case. 

The anti-graft watchdog gave the go-ahead for the case on Monday.

Muhammad Arif Sadeq, deputy director of the ACC public relations office, told UNB that the anti-graft watchdog's Chattogram coordinated office will file the case.

Anowarul Islam and a developer company completed their signing before the approval of Waqf Estate administration and sold the goods of the old mosque without tender or following any government rules and regulations, Arif Sadeq said.

The four people also collected Tk2.5 crore from 46 individuals as an advance payment for transferring the shop ownership of a proposed shopping complex, he added. - UNB
