The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) of Bangladesh has uncovered evidence of widespread irregularities within the Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission (BTRC) over the past 15 years. The findings include illegal recruitment, unauthorized promotions, budget mismanagement, and corruption in multiple projects. Following a raid on April 23, 2025, the ACC seized documents and confirmed violations of government rules in recruitment and project-to-revenue transfers. Around a dozen officials have been implicated, and a detailed report has been submitted for further legal action.
According to ACC sources, a powerful syndicate within BTRC manipulated recruitment and promotion processes, misused public funds, and even used fake documents for promotions. The investigation also found irregularities in the TMS project worth 118 crore taka, where specifications were allegedly tailored to benefit specific vendors. Additional allegations include misuse of authority, data leaks, irregular foreign trips, and biased policymaking under the 2025 Telecom Policy.
The ACC stated that the investigation is nearing completion and that legal proceedings will be initiated against the involved officials under relevant anti-corruption laws.
