Former EXIM Bank chairman Nazrul Islam Mazumder arrested

Former chairman of EXIM Bank Nazrul Islam Mazumder was arrested from Dhaka's Gulshan area last night.

A team of detectives arrested Mazumder, also the founder of Nassa Group, said Rezaul Karim Mallick, additional commissioner of detective branch of Dhaka Metropolitan Police.

"He was accused in several cases. We will decide in which cases he will be shown arrested," he told The Daily Star.

In late August, following the ouster of Awami League government, Bangladesh Bank reconstituted the board of directors of EXIM Bank, bringing an end to the era of the financial institution's influential chairman Mazumder.

A close ally of the Awami League government, Mazumder had been serving the private bank owners' forum -- Bangladesh Association of Banks (BAB) -- since 2009.

Mazumder not only used his influence at Exim Bank, but also at the overall banking industry, including the central bank, according to industry insiders.​

Ex-whip Shamsul among 10 MPs under ACC scanner

The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) has decided to launch investigations into allegations of abuse of power and amassing illegal wealth against ten former lawmakers, including ex-whip Shamsul Haque Chowdhury.

The ACC, led by its Chairman Mohammad Moinuddin Abdullah, initiated these inquiries based on preliminary evidence uncovered by its intelligence unit, ACC deputy director for public relations Aktarul Islam said today.

Among those under scrutiny are Alauddin Ahmed Chowdhury Nasim (Feni-1), Ekramul Karim Chowdhury (Noakhali-4), Omor Faruk Chowdhury (Rajshahi-1), Shamsul Hoque Chowdhury (Chattogram-12), MA Zaher (Cumilla-6), Iftiquar Uddin Talukder (Netrokona-3), Fahmi Gulandaz Babel (Mymensingh-10), Hosne Ara (reserved women's seat), and Aftab Uddin Sarker (Nilphamari-1).

The allegations center on the former lawmakers' misuse of power to acquire substantial wealth both domestically and abroad, as well as embezzling funds from development projects and engaging in money laundering.

Additionally, the commission has initiated an inquiry into five others, including Awami League Rangamati district president and former lawmaker Dipankar Talukdar (Rangamati), for allegedly embezzling public funds through a fraudulent project. The four others involved in this inquiry are district AL general secretary Hazi Mohammad Musa Mathabbar, vice-president Brisk Ketu Chakma, vice-president Angsrip Chowdhury, and cultural secretary Remliana Pankhwa.​

Detectives arrested him from his place of hiding in the capital, where he had been staying since the fall of the Awami League government, the DB chief said without providing details.

Abul Kalam Azad was wanted in a number of cases as he was reportedly involved in various misdeeds during the Awami League regime.

Azad was elected member of parliament (MP) from Jamalpur-5 constituency in the last general election. The parliament was dissolved following the student-led mass uprising.

He also served as the principal secretary and principal SDG coordinator, as well as the prime minister's office secretary, and secretary to the Power Division and Economic Relations Division, reports BSS.​
