DHAKA, Oct 31, 2025 (BSS) - The Criminal Investigation Department (CID) today filed a case against ousted Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's former Personal Assistant (PA) Jahangir Alam, notoriously known as Pani Jahangir, for allegedly laundering around Taka 100 crore.

The Criminal Investigation Department filed the case with Chatkhil Police Station in Noakhali, based on the evidence found in the primary investigation of its financial crime unit, an official release said.

The CID release said that in 2010, Jahangir founded a company named Sky Re-Arrange Limited and obtained a distribution franchise for mobile financial service bKash. "However, under the cover of this business, he allegedly conducted numerous suspicious banking transactions. Several accounts in the company's name received unusually large deposits with no legitimate source of income. Over Taka 565 crore was transacted through the company's various bank accounts between 2010 and 2024, with significant portions deposited in cash from different parts of the country. The sources of these funds remain unverified, and preliminary evidence suggests links to hundi and money laundering activities," the release added.

The inquiry also revealed that Jahangir, with assistance from his wife Kamrun Nahar and brother Monir Hossain, had long been involved in illicit financial dealings. 

Jahangir and his wife reportedly moved to the United States in June, 2024, and are currently residing in Virginia. Despite lacking official authorization for overseas investments or asset purchases, preliminary findings indicate they have done so abroad.

Initial investigation confirmed that Jahangir Alam, his wife Kamrun Nahar, brother Monir Hossain, and their company Sky Re-Arrange Limited collectively laundered around Taka 100 crore abroad between 2010 and 2024.

The CID said its investigation and drives are ongoing to identify and arrest other individuals involved and to uncover the full extent of the crime.
