A Dhaka court has scheduled August 3 for delivering the charge framing order against former National Board of Revenue member Matiur Rahman in a graft case filed by the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC). The case accuses him of acquiring wealth worth about Tk 5.28 crore beyond known income sources. The order date was deferred as the presiding judge, B. M. Tarikul Kabir, was on leave. Matiur was brought from jail to the court’s custody cell but was not produced before the judge.

The ACC filed two cases on December 15, 2024, against Matiur Rahman and his second wife for allegedly amassing illegal wealth and concealing asset information. The investigation report, approved on February 3, alleged that Matiur misused his official position to accumulate Tk 5.40 crore in undeclared assets and provided false information in his wealth statement. He faces charges under sections 26(2) and 27(1) of the ACC Act, 2004, and section 5(2) of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1947.

Matiur Rahman was arrested by the Detective Branch on January 14, 2025, and has remained in custody since then.
