The Bangladesh Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) has approved a chargesheet against Tulip Rizwana Siddiq, niece of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, and former RAJUK legal adviser Sardar Mosharraf Hossain. They are accused of facilitating the illegal transfer of a Gulshan plot and receiving a flat from Eastern Housing Limited as a bribe. The decision was confirmed by ACC Director General Md Akhtar Hossain on Thursday, with the charges filed under multiple sections of the Penal Code and the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1947.
According to the ACC, Siddiq allegedly used her influence to help Eastern Housing gain unauthorized approval to subdivide and sell a government-leased plot, violating the 99-year lease terms. In return, she reportedly received a free apartment, which she later transferred to her sister. The ACC claims documentary evidence supports the allegation, including company letters and tax records.
The chargesheet will soon be submitted to court. Legal experts note the case could have political implications given Siddiq’s high-profile family ties and her role as a UK politician.
