ACC grills Mahi B Chowdhury

Staff Correspondent:  The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) has interrogated lawmaker Mahi B Chowdhury in connection with his alleged involvement in money laundering and for amassing wealth beyond known sources of income.

ACC Investigating Officer and Deputy Director Jalal Uddin Ahmed began interrogation around 10.15am on Sunday at the ACC headquarters.

ACC Public Relations Officer Pranab Kumar Bhattacharya confirmed this.

On July 28, the ACC first summoned the lawmaker and his wife for interrogation over their alleged involvement in money laundering and for amassing wealth beyond their known sources of income.

The ACC again summoned them to explain their position as they did not appear before the anti-graft body on the first date.

ACC Deputy Director Jalal Uddin Ahmed sent two separate letters.

According to the letter, Mahi B Chowdhury, joint secretary-general of Bikalpadhara Bangladesh, allegedly laundered money to the US and amassed wealth beyond known sources of income.
