The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) has arrested Jahangir Alam, an AGM at Aramit PLC, for allegedly withdrawing Tk 1.76 crore using 11 cheques issued in the name of fugitive former land minister Saifuzzaman Chowdhury Javed.
Alam was detained from Aramit Group’s office in Kalurghat Industrial Zone. ACC sources allege he withdrew the money without authorization during Javed’s absence. Alam, however, claims the funds were used to cover legal expenses for two Aramit officials already arrested in a money laundering case.
