Asaduzzaman Noor, ex-minister sued by ACC



Dhaka, July 29 — The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) has filed a case against former cultural affairs minister Asaduzzaman Noor on charges of amassing illegal wealth worth over Tk 5.37 crore and being involved in suspicious transactions of around Tk 159 crore.

ACC Deputy Director Md Akhtarul Islam said the case was filed against the former minister on Tuesday.

According to the case statement, Noor accumulated assets worth around Tk 5.38 crore which are inconsistent with his known sources of income.

Besides, a total of Tk 85.72 crore was deposited and Tk 73.05 crore withdrawn from 19 bank accounts opened under his name—leading to suspicious transactions amounting to Tk 158.78 crore.

Following the fall of the Awami League government, Noor—who served as a Member of Parliament for five consecutive terms—was arrested on September 15 last year. - UNB
