A petition has been submitted to the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) seeking action against former Chief Adviser Dr. Muhammad Yunus, former Health Adviser Dr. Nurjahan Begum, and others over alleged misappropriation of funds related to vaccine procurement. The application was filed on Monday, April 13, 2026, by Supreme Court lawyers Biplob Kumar Das and Barrister Sanaullah Nur-e-Sagar. It urges the ACC to investigate possible corruption and irregularities in the purchase and distribution of measles and other vaccines during the tenure of the former interim government.
The petition cites recent reports of a nationwide measles outbreak that has caused the deaths of over a hundred children, describing the situation as alarming. It notes that despite a substantial health budget of about Tk 42,000 crore, the interim government allegedly failed to procure and distribute vaccines on time. The applicants argue that this failure and the subsequent vaccine shortage contributed to the rise in measles cases and child deaths, calling for a thorough investigation in the public interest.
If the ACC proceeds, the investigation could determine whether any irregularities occurred in vaccine procurement under the previous administration.
