Dhaka: The Anti Corruption Commission (ACC) on Tuesday approved a charge-sheet against former state minister Mahbubur Rahman, MP, for alleged accumulation of illegal wealth.

ACC deputy director and inquiry officer Farid Ahmed Patwari on Tuesday said the commission approved the charge-sheet at a recent meeting.

On August 21, 2014, the ACC filed separate cases against former State Minister for Water Resources Mahbubur Rahman, former State Minister for Housing and Public Works Abdul Mannan Khan and Cox’s Bazar-4 (Teknaf) MP Abdur Rahman Bodi on charge of acquiring wealth illegally.

According to the first information report (FIR), Mahbubur Rahman acquired movable and immovable wealth worth about Tk 5.2 crore. He also concealed wealth worth about Tk 1.25 crore in his wealth statement.

Mahbubur Rahman submitted his wealth account to the Commission on April 3 in 2014 mentioning his wealth totaling Tk 5.85 crore.

During the ACC inquiry, it was found that he amassed the huge wealth illegally during 2009-2013.
