The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) conducted an undercover raid at the Pirojpur Regional Passport Office on Monday (November 9) morning to investigate allegations of corruption, irregularities, and harassment of service seekers.
Officials from the graft watchdog carried out the drive in disguise to observe operational standards and interact directly with citizens visiting the office. However, no significant complaints of harassment or irregularities were reported by service seekers during the inspection.
Briefing reporters following the raid, Zakir Hossain, Assistant Director of the ACC Integrated District Office, stated that team members posed as general service seekers to assess ground realities.
"We spoke to citizens visiting the office in disguise to ascertain whether they were facing any harassment or irregularity. However, no substantial complaints were received from the public," Hossain said.
He added that ACC officials collected relevant administrative records and documents for scrutiny. The inspection team noted that Ansar personnel previously accused of involvement in irregularities were no longer posted at the facility, with a new contingent of Ansar members assuming duty on Monday. Furthermore, no touts or brokers were spotted on the premises during the drive.
Describing the initial outcome of the raid as satisfactory, ACC officials reiterated that enforcement drives will continue across public offices wherever allegations of corruption surface, assuring that lawful action will be taken without compromise.
