Dhaka, Jan 19 - The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) on Wednesday pressed charges against Regent Group Chairman Mohammad Shahed in a case filed over amassing of Tk 1.69 crore illegally and not submitting wealth statement.
Farid Ahmed Patwary, ACC Deputy Director and also the Investigation Officer of the case, submitted the charge sheet to the Metropolitan Senior Special Judge’s Court of Dhaka, showing 23 people as prosecution witnesses (PWs).
Earlier on November 5, 2020, the ACC had sent a notice, asking Shahed to submit statements of all immovable and movable wealth owned by him within 21 working days.
Later, Shahed applied for an extension, and the ACC extended the deadline by 15 working days but he again did not submit the wealth statement.
Later, on March 1, last year, the ACC filed a case against Shahed, which ACC Deputy Director Farid Ahmed Patwary was asked to investigate.
