DHAKA, Feb 9, 2026 (BSS) - The ACC today filed a case against a person named Md. Rezwanul Haque on charges of fraud and embezzling money by using fake identities as ACC’s Chairman, Director General and other senior officials.

Deputy Director of the Public Relations Department of the Anti-Corruption Commission Md. Aktarul Islam disclosed the information to the journalists during a media briefing at the commission headquarters here.

The case was filed at the ACC Integrated District Office, Dhaka-1. Charges have been brought against the accused under section 27(1) of the Anti-Corruption Commission Act, 2004, sections 419 and 420 of the Penal Code and sections 4(2) and 4(3) of the Money Laundering Prevention Act, 2012.

According to the ACC, the accused Md. Rezwanul Haque created fake Facebook accounts using the names and identities of the ACC Chairman, Director General and other senior officials. He then contacted various individuals through online platforms such as Messenger and WhatsApp, intimidating them by claiming that complaints had been filed against them with the ACC and extorting money through fraud and forgery.

Initial investigation found that he acquired assets worth about Taka 1,35,27,883 that is beyond his known sources of income, through fraudulence. In addition, a total of Taka 1,53, 44,661 was deposited and Taka 1,38, 48,706 withdrawn from two bank accounts including a Dutch-Bangla Agent Banking account opened using the voter ID of Mrs. Yasmin Akter.

The ACC further stated that information has been found about immovable assets worth around Taka 6 million including land, plots and a building under construction, in the name of the accused. He also possesses movable assets worth about Taka 28,95,883 including gold ornaments, furniture, electronic goods and bank deposits. However, no legitimate profession or lawful source of income of the accused has been identified.

Moreover, a review of the police CDMS showed that Rezwanul Haque has at least nine previous cases filed against him in different police stations across the country, including Ramna and Shahbagh in the capital, on charges of fraud and forgery. He has been arrested many times in connection with those cases.

Based on the complaint filed by ACC Director Md. Abul Hasnat, the case was lodged on February 3 at the Dhaka-1 Integrated District Office. The investigation is ongoing and the ACC stated that legal action will be taken if the involvement of any other person is found during the investigation.
