Dhaka: The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) has initiated a probe against the owners of Abul Khair Group for allegedly dodging tax and amassing illegal wealth.
The Commission at its regular meeting on Thursday decided to launch the probe against them after receiving specific graft allegations, official sources said.
In July last, the ACC received several allegations against a number of companies of Abul Khair Group that they in collusion with some officials of the National Board of Revenue (NBR) dodged a huge amount of tax and its owners accumulated huge illegal wealth.
ACC director Syed Iqbal Hossain has been appointed inquiry officer to carry out the probe into the allegations while its director general (Special Inquiry) will monitor the probe.
The Commission asked the inquiry official to submit his report to it as soon as possible on completion of the probe.
