The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) has summoned documents related to alleged irregularities in the construction of the Purbachal stadium, consultant appointments, and financial mismanagement in the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) during the tenure of former Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) president and ex–Youth and Sports Minister Nazmul Hasan Papon. The directive came through a letter signed by ACC Deputy Director Md. Saiduzzaman, which was also sent to the Youth and Sports Ministry secretary and the BCB chief executive officer.
According to ACC sources, a three-member team was formed in 2025 to investigate allegations of corruption and money laundering involving Papon and Beximco Pharmaceuticals. The ACC has requested all tender documents, consultant appointment records, expenditure details, and audit reports related to the Purbachal stadium project and BCB operations. It also sought records of expenditures for the Mujib 100 celebrations, the 2019 Bangabandhu BPL, and the concert organized by Indian musician A. R. Rahman.
The investigation follows reports that Papon left the country after the fall of the Awami League government on August 5, with recent footage showing him in London.
