CHATTOGRAM, Feb 18, 2026 (BSS)- The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) has 
filed a case against Mahfuzur Rahman Mita, the former Member of Parliament

allegedly amassing wealth of approximately Taka 9.88 million beyond his known 
income.
 
The case has been charged under Section 27(1) of the Anti-Corruption

Legal action will be taken if anyone else is found involved during the

tax documents. Additionally, from the tax year 2011-12 to 2016-17, no valid 
documents were found to support the reported income.
 
"ACC took a loan of Taka 3.75 crore from his wife, but no valid source or
