A Dhaka court has ordered one-day jail gate interrogation of former State Minister for Posts, Telecommunications and Information Technology Zunaid Ahmed Palak in a money laundering case filed by the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC). The order was issued on Monday by Dhaka Metropolitan Senior Special Judge Sabbir Foyez, according to court bench assistant Md Riaz Hossain. The ACC’s investigating officer and Assistant Director Al-Amin had submitted the petition seeking permission for the interrogation.
According to the petition, Palak allegedly abused his power to acquire assets worth Tk 8.73 crore beyond known sources of income. The ACC investigation found that he and his associates held 25 bank accounts containing Tk 32.04 crore, of which Tk 29.84 crore had already been withdrawn. The commission suspects the funds were obtained through bribery and corruption, constituting an offense under the Money Laundering Prevention Act.
The case was filed on December 12, 2024, at the ACC’s Integrated District Office, Dhaka-1, under sections of the Anti-Corruption Commission Act 2004 and the Prevention of Corruption Act 1947. As Palak is currently in custody, the ACC sought permission to question him at the jail gate, which the court approved after a hearing.
