The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) conducted a raid at the University of Chittagong on Wednesday following allegations of irregularities in more than 150 appointments approved by a university syndicate. The operation began at 11:30 a.m. under the leadership of ACC Chittagong Assistant Director Sayed Alam, and the matter was confirmed to the media by ACC Chittagong Deputy Director Subel Ahmed.

According to university authorities, the 565th syndicate meeting held on January 9 approved the appointment of 113 individuals, including teachers, officers, and employees. Among them, 21 were appointed as teachers, 8 as officers, and 84 as third- and fourth-class employees. The list also included Mahira Khan, daughter of the university’s Pro-Vice-Chancellor Shamim Uddin Khan, who was appointed as a lecturer.

The ACC raid followed public allegations that the recruitment process involved irregularities, prompting the commission to investigate the matter further.
