The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) is filing charges in six cases against former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, her family members, and 23 others for alleged abuse of power and fraud in securing 60 kathas of land in a Rajuk housing project. The accusations involve the illegal allotment of plots in the Purbachal New Town Development Project in Dhaka, where Sheikh Hasina allegedly manipulated the system to acquire 60 kathas of land for herself and her family, despite already having properties in the city. The commission has approved the charge sheets for these cases, which will be presented in court soon, with Sheikh Hasina and her family members currently absconding. The charges are based on violations of housing regulations, abuse of power, and fraud under the Penal Code and the Prevention of Corruption Act.

Additionally, the ACC has made significant progress in tracing illicitly transferred funds, with the Bangladesh Financial Intelligence Unit (BFIU) and a joint investigation team providing concrete evidence of money laundering linked to Sheikh Hasina, her family, and associated entities. The charge sheet also names other prominent figures, including her son Sajeeb Wazed Joy, daughter Saima Wazed, sister Sheikh Rehana, niece Tulip Siddiq, and others involved in the alleged corruption. These cases were initially filed between January 12 and 14, and the commission is also investigating allegations of a massive financial scam involving Sheikh Hasina and her family in various mega projects amounting to 80,000 crore BDT. Further investigations into these allegations and the overseas transfer of 300 million USD are ongoing.
