Dinajpur Correspondent:
A written complaint has been filed with the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) against two brothers in Kheer Mamudpur village of Katla union in Birampur upazila of Dinajpur on charges of acquiring unusual wealth. The complaint states that the family, which worked as daily wage workers a few years ago, has now become the owner of assets worth crores of taka, which has sparked widespread discussion in the area.
According to the written complaint submitted to the ACC, information has been mentioned about Abdul Jabbar alias “Jabbar Taklu”, son of the deceased Dashim Uddin of the village, and his brother Altaf Hossain, purchasing and mortgaging a large amount of land. The complainant, Md. Alamgir Badsha, claimed that there has been a dramatic change in their lifestyle in the last two years and that they are currently in control of assets worth crores of taka, which is being discussed locally.
The charge sheet states that Abdul Jabbar has mortgaged a significant amount of land from various people and areas. At the same time, allegations of building houses and buying land in the name of relatives in Hakimpur Upazila have also been made. The complainant claims that the source of these assets needs to be investigated.
In addition, the charge sheet further mentions that there have been rumors locally for a long time about Abdul Jabbar’s involvement with an Indian smuggling ring. Even after an incident related to gold bars about two years ago, the complaint claims that his financial condition has changed significantly. However, no government documents, case numbers or official information from law enforcement agencies have been attached to the charge sheet in support of these allegations.
When contacted on mobile phone, accused Abdul Jabbar completely denied the allegations. He said,
“The allegations made against me are false and motivated. I am not involved in any illegal activities.”
Speaking to some local residents, it was learned that although there have been various discussions in the area about the sudden increase in wealth, many are reluctant to comment publicly. They have demanded an impartial investigation by the administration.
According to the concerned quarters, to verify the truth of the complaint submitted to the ACC, it is necessary to investigate land records, bank transactions, income tax documents and source of wealth. At the same time, they believe that an impartial verification of the complainant’s claims is also necessary.
In this regard, Habibur Basar, Assistant Director of the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) Dinajpur District Office, said that the complaint has been accepted. However, the investigation commission has not been formed yet. After the formation of the commission, the complaint will be sent to higher officials for necessary action.
