The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) of Bangladesh has initiated an investigation against Asaduzzaman Hiru, widely known as the ‘foster son’ of Awami League General Secretary Obaidul Quader, over allegations of amassing illegal wealth worth thousands of crores of taka. According to ACC spokesperson Akhtarul Islam, the probe was launched following accusations that Hiru and his wife, Israt Jahan, accumulated assets through extortion, tender manipulation, smuggling, hundi transactions, and customs evasion. The ACC has formed a two-member team led by Assistant Director Md. Nasrullah Hossain, with Deputy Assistant Director Md. Abu Talha as a member. The commission stated that if the allegations are substantiated, legal action will be taken against both Hiru and his wife. Earlier, Hiru had been arrested in January in connection with a murder case filed at Badda Police Station in Dhaka.
