DHAKA, Sept 16, 2025 (BSS) - The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) today filed a case against former chairman of Rajdhani Unnayan Kartripakkha (RAJUK) retired major general M Siddiqur Rahman on charges of illegally amassing assets worth Tk.36.15 crore.

“During his tenure as RAJUK chairman, he acquired assets worth of Tk.36,15,17,685, an amount which is inconsistent to his known sources of income,” ACC’s director general M Akter Hossain told a media briefing.

He said the graft body filed the case accusing Rahman of “misconduct” as it appeared that the former RAJUK chief amassed the wealth abusing his power.

According to the senior graft body official, ACC Assistant director Asif Al Mahmud filed the case under section 27(1) of ACC Act 2004 and section 5(2) of the Corruption Prevention Act 1947 and the sections 4(2) and 4(3) of the Money Laundering Prevention Act-2012.

The ACC revealed Rahman possesses assets worth of Tk. 36,15,17,685 he transacted Tk.151.31 crore through his 38 bank accounts.

The ACC investigators also revealed that a business entity owed by the ex-army general operates 19 bank accounts, where Tk.26.27 crore was transacted and of the amount Tk.177.58 crore was transacted suspiciously.
