5 submit wealth info in rail scam

Posted by bangladesh

Railway East Zone General Manager Yususf Ali Mridha and Omar Faruq Talukder, sacked APS to former Railway Minister Suranjit Sengupta and three others on Sunday submitted their wealth statements to the Anti-Corruption Commission.

All five including Mridha's wife Yasmin Nargis Zakia, Dhaka zone Railway Police's Commandant Enamul Haque and his wife Rahat Ara Haque submitted individual statements on their movable and immovable assets to ACC Secretary Faizur Rahman Chowdhury.

On May 14, the ACC had asked them to provide their wealth statements as its primary investigation found that they had property beyond their known income.

On Apr 10, Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) personnel reportedly detained Faruq, Mridha and Haque while they were moving in a car allegedly with unaccounted-for Tk 7 million cash at the gate of BGB headquarters.

Mridha and Enamul were suspended following the incident while Faruq was fired. Suranjit, who became a Minister of the newly-craved Ministry of Railways, stepped down accepting responsibility for the scandal. However, he was retained in the Cabinet, but relieved of his portfolio.

The Ministry's own investigation cleared Suranjit, Mridha and Haque of 'wrongdoings'.

The corruption watchdog is probing the incident separately and had already cross examined the trio on Apr 18.
