A case has been filed against former National Parliament Whip Shamsul Haque on charges of acquiring Tk 150 million in illegal assets. The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) stated that Haque abused his official power for personal gain. The case was confirmed on Sunday by ACC Deputy Director (Public Relations) Md. Akhtarul Islam. According to the ACC report, Haque possessed assets worth Tk 68.8 million against a legitimate income of Tk 49 million, leaving Tk 50.8 million in unexplained wealth. The case was filed under Section 27(1) of the Anti-Corruption Commission Act, 2004, and Section 5(2) of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1947.

The ACC investigation also found significant illegal assets in the names of Haque’s wife Kamrun Nahar Chowdhury and daughter Taklima Nasrin Chowdhury. Kamrun Nahar reportedly owns assets worth Tk 72.1 million, exceeding her legitimate income by Tk 67.5 million. Taklima Nasrin was found to possess Tk 30.1 million in assets, of which Tk 29.4 million are allegedly unaccounted for.

The ACC’s findings indicate a pattern of wealth accumulation beyond known income sources, prompting legal action against all three family members.
