ACC to sue suspended Teknaf OC Pradeep, wife
The Anti-Corruption Commission on Sunday approved a case against suspended Teknaf police station officer-in-charge Pradeep Kumar Das and his wife Chumki Karon on charges of accumulating illegal wealth and laundering about Tk 3.95 crore.
The commission assistant director M Reaz Uddin of ACC integrated district office Chattogram-2 would file a case soon, said ACC public relations officer Pranab Kumar Bhattacharjee.
Earlier, on August 8, the commission reopened an inquiry against the couple.
The ACC had started the inquiry against Pradeep, now arrested in a case over the killing of retired army major Sinha Mohammad Rashed Khan, about one year ago.
According to ACC officials, after the inquiry began the commission asked Pradeep and his wife Chumki to submit their wealth statements to the commission and the couple complied.
The commission, in their wealth statements, found huge wealth which appeared abnormal but the inquiry was stopped for unknown reasons.
The ACC inquiry found, under their ownership, several pieces of land, flat and private hotel in Cox’s Bazar and Chattogram, they said.
On August 6, a judicial magistrate court in Cox’s Bazar placed Pradeep, inspector Md Liyakat Ali and sub-inspector Nanda Dulal Rakshit in remand for seven days after they surrendered to the court following a case filed on August 5 by the family of slain former major.
