DHAKA, Sept 23, 2025 (BSS) - The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) has launched a legal procedure against one its own officers as it found validity of an allegation that he had demanded bribes from one person in Bagerhat.

“ACC’s deputy assistant director Abul Hashem has been withdrawn from his assignment in Bagerhat and attached to the head office and legal procedures are underway to investigate in details the complaint against him,” an ACC spokesman told BSS.

ACC’s deputy director for public relations M Aktarul Islam said Hashem was accused of proposing the complainant to drop his name from a graft body allegation in exchange of bribes.

The spokesman, however, did not name the complainant.

He said that the process was initiated on the basis of a written complaint lodged by the person concerned while the initial ACC investigation found its validity.
