DHAKA, Sept 7, 2025 (BSS) – The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) today said they stockpiled evidence of financial fraudulence involving “crores of takas” as its enforcement unit carried out a raid at Dhaka South City Corporation (DSCC) headquarters at Nagar Bhaban.

ACC deputy director Akhtarul Islam told reporters an enforcement unit team led by an assistant director of theirs conducted a four-hour raid and found the evidence particularly related to “fake fuel purchase vouchers”.

He said the DSCC operations were virtually dysfunctional for some 40 days during May and June amid unrests over the demand for installation of BNP leader Ishraq Hossain as the mayor in May and June.

“We gathered primary evidence of embezzlement of around Taka 7 crore with vouchers showing that the amount was spent as payment of fuel for DSCC vehicles during the period,” Islam told BSS.

The ACC official said that the operation was carried out as part of the initial verification of the allegations.
