The Anti-Corruption
Commission (ACC) has recovered two sacks of documents
related to Former Inspector General of Police (IGP) AKM
Shahidul Haque’s illegal assets from a relative’s house.
ACC Deputy Director and Public Relations Officer Aktarul
Islam said that a five-member team, led by investigation
officer and Assistant Director Rakibul Hayat, conducted
a drive at the relative’s house of Shahidul from Tuesday
midnight to early Wednesday and recovered a total of 48
pieces of evidence of 38 different types in the two sacks.
The documents included a huge number of property deeds,
various confidential agreements, deeds of agreement,
power of attorney documents, bonds, FDR copies, company
memorandums, offer letters, and bank account statements,
according to the ACC. The ACC said that following allegations of amassment of
huge wealth through illegal means by former IGP AKM
Shahidul Haque, investigation operations against the
former top police official were carried out.
At one stage of the investigation process, the anti-
graft body received intelligence information that
Shahidul Haque had sent those documents in two sacks
related to his illegal assets to a close relative.
The intelligence report suggests that the relative later
moved the documents to another relative’s residence in
an attempt to conceal those documents containing records
of wealth worth crores of Taka, allegedly acquired
through unlawful means.
