A Dhaka court on Wednesday showed former director general of the National Telecommunication Monitoring Centre (NTMC) Ziaul Ahsan arrested in a corruption case filed by the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC).
Dhaka Metropolitan Senior Special Judge Md Sabbir Faiz passed the order after granting an application submitted by the investigation officer in the case.
The ACC lodged the case on 23 January, 2025, accusing Ziaul Ahsan of acquiring assets beyond his known sources of income and laundering money overseas.
The case was filed by ACC Deputy Director Salahuddin.
According to the prosecution, Ziaul illegally accumulated assets worth Tk 22.27 crore and deposited USD 55,000 into his bank account in violation of existing regulations.
The investigation further alleges that large sums of money were funneled through multiple bank accounts.
The case documents state that, with the help and involvement of his wife, Nusrat Jahan, the accused transferred, concealed, and converted the illicit funds by placing them in the names of various individuals and organisations.
