DHAKA, March 29, (V7N) — The Anti‑Corruption Commission (ACC) today submitted a charge‑sheet against former Dhaka Power Distribution Company Limited (DPDC) manager Hujjat Ullah and his wife Mahmuda Khatun, accusing them of acquiring wealth beyond known sources of income and concealing information.

The case, originally lodged on July 8, 2024 at the ACC’s Integrated District Office, Dhaka‑1, was investigated by Assistant Director Md. Rubel Hossain and filed by former Director Selina Akhter.

Investigators found that Mahmuda Khatun’s net assets after liabilities amounted to Tk 35,74,681, while her family and other expenditures between FY 2004‑05 and FY 2020‑21 totaled Tk 27,34,492, bringing her total wealth to Tk 63,09,173. However, her legitimate income sources were only Tk 13,66,372, leaving an unexplained disparity of Tk 49,42,801.

The ACC further alleged that she concealed information about assets worth Tk 8,11,600 and provided false statements, an offense under section 26(2) of the ACC Act, 2004.

The investigation also concluded that her husband, Hujjat Ullah, assisted in acquiring these assets through funds obtained via bribery and corruption. He has been charged under section 109 of the Penal Code for abetment.

The charges have been brought against both accused under sections 26(2) and 27(1) of the ACC Act, 2004, along with section 109 of the Penal Code.
