The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) has filed three separate cases against former Detective Branch (DB) chief Mohammad Harun-or-Rashid, his wife Shirin Akter, and his brother ABM Shahriar on charges of amassing illegal wealth amounting to nearly Tk 41 crore.
The cases were filed on Tuesday, December 17, at the ACC’s Integrated District Office in Dhaka. ACC Director General Md. Akhtar Hossain confirmed the development. According to the case statements, former DB chief Harun-or-Rashid is accused of amassing Tk 17.51 crore in illegal assets, while his wife Shirin Akter allegedly accumulated Tk 10.76 crore, and his brother ABM Shahriar is accused of acquiring Tk 12.96 crore in unlawful wealth.
The charges have been brought under Section 27(1) of the ACC Act 2004 and Section 5(2) of the Prevention of Corruption Act of 1947.
The ACC's move follows an investigation into allegations of disproportionate wealth against the accused. According to officials, the illicit assets were accumulated through means inconsistent with their declared income sources. The cases detail instances of financial irregularities and unaccounted transactions that reportedly contributed to the wealth accumulation.
ACC officials emphasized that these charges reflect the commission’s commitment to combating corruption and holding high-profile individuals accountable for financial misconduct. The accused will now face legal proceedings as the ACC seeks to ensure transparency and justice in addressing the allegations.
