Observer Online Report

The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) has decided to ask former education minister Nurul Islam Nahid and his wife to submit wealth statements after a preliminary inquiry found assets worth Tk 1.16 crore allegedly inconsistent with their known sources of income.

ACC Deputy Director Aktarul Islam disclosed the information to journalists on Monday.

According to the preliminary inquiry, assets worth Tk 1,10,53,878 were found in the name of Nahid, a former lawmaker from Sylhet-6, which the commission said were inconsistent with his known sources of income.

The inquiry also found assets worth Tk 6,09,734 in the name of his wife, K U Zohra Jesmin, allegedly beyond her known sources of income.

The combined value of the assets identified as inconsistent with the couple’s known sources of income stands at Tk 1,16,63,612, Aktarul said.

The commission will seek their wealth statements to determine the actual extent of their assets and the sources of their income.
