The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) has begun a public investigation into widespread looting of valuable white stones from mines, following allegations of official complicity.
ACC Director General Akhtar Hossain said enforcement operations had earlier uncovered police and political involvement. “Based on the report, the Commission decided to launch a full-fledged investigation to assign responsibility,” he explained.
Documents suggest at least 53 individuals—including police officers, political leaders, and government officials—were implicated in receiving commissions from illegal stone traders.
The ACC’s open probe aims to hold accountable those found directly complicit in the large-scale resource theft.
