A Dhaka court has fixed September 20 as the new date for submission of the investigation report in a corruption case filed against former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and 16 others. The case involves allegations of irregularities, abuse of power, and financial losses to the state in connection with the Meghna-Gomti Bridge toll collection contract. The decision was made on June 23 by Acting Judge Mohammad Alamgir of the Dhaka Metropolitan Senior Special Judge’s Court after the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) failed to submit the report within the previous deadline.
According to the case details, in 2016, Computer Network Systems (CNS) Limited was awarded the toll collection contract through a direct procurement process, bypassing an ongoing tender and competitive bidding. The company received 17.75 percent of total toll revenue as service charges, amounting to about Tk 489 crore, while previous and subsequent contracts for similar services cost significantly less. Based on comparative data, the ACC alleges that the state incurred a financial loss of approximately Tk 309 crore due to the sole-source contract.
The ACC filed the case on October 12 last year under various sections of the Anti-Corruption Act and the Penal Code.
