DHAKA, Oct 30, 2025(BSS) - The Anti Corruption Commission (ACC) today submitted charge sheet against two engineers of Dhaka South City Corporation (DSCC) and a contractor for irregularities in constructing Dhalpur Sweeper Colony.

Monir Miah, an assistant director of the ACC headquarters later investigated the case and prepared the charge sheet against three engineers and the contractor but before submitting the charge sheet former deputy assistant engineer of the DSCC Md Abdus Salam died.

The ACC during its investigation found that the accused persons in connivance with each other prepared the structural design and estimated the cost of the buildings before completion of soil test based on false technical analysis. 

They also completed the construction work of the colony without proper design and using low quality materials. 

The accused persons showed expenses of Taka over 3.18 crore for the construction of three buildings but the expert team from the BUET after field inspection and necessary tests gave their opinion that the buildings were constructed with low quality materials and it were very risky.
