Our Correspondent, Ctg
Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) here yesterday filed a case against Shahjahan Chowdhury, former Jamaat-e-Islami MP from Satkania, on charge of submitting a false statement of property.ACC Deputy Director Md Abul Kalam Azad filed the case with Bandar Police Station at around 7:00pm. In his complaint, Azad alleged that the Jamaat leader, in a statement submitted to the ACC on February 20 this year, mentioned that he possessed property worth Tk 2.41 Lakh. In the statement, Shahjahan also said that he imported a Land Rover Range Rover V-8 under the duty-free quota, but the agency concerned 'World Motors' did not hand it over to him due to his failure to pay in full the import value of the car that amounted to Tk 50 lakh. Shahjahan also stated that his younger brother Shah Alam, an expatriate in America, had lent him Tk 20 lakh, but he could not mange the rest of the money. But during an investigation, the ACC found that Shahjahan released the vehicle by paying Tk 50 lakh through opening an L/C with Mohakhali branch of Arab Bangladesh (AB) Bank in August 2006 and was using the vehicle for about one year.
