A Dhaka court on Thursday ordered the seizure of income tax records belonging to Mohammad Abu Razib Maruf, the Managing Director of Drinan Apparels Limited, in connection with a corruption investigation.
Acting Judge Md Alamgir of the Dhaka Metropolitan Senior Special Judge’s Court passed the order following an application by the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC). The development was confirmed by the court’s Bench Assistant, Md Riaz Hossain.
ACC Deputy Assistant Director Md Rubel Hossain moved the application on behalf of the commission.
According to the application, a case has been filed against Maruf for allegedly acquiring and possessing movable and immovable assets worth Tk3,41,66,144 through dishonest means. The commission said these assets are inconsistent with his known sources of income, which is a punishable offence under the Anti-Corruption Commission Act.
The ACC further noted in its application that the seizure and review of the accused’s income tax records are essential for the sake of a fair investigation into the matter.
