The Anti-Corruption Commission yesterday pressed charges against former state minister Abdul Mannan Khan, his wife Syeda Hasina Sultana and Awami League lawmaker Abdur Rahman Bodi in corruption cases.

Three investigators of the ACC submitted three separate charge sheets against the trio to the Chief Metropolitan Magistrate's Court of Dhaka.

The commission filed the case against Mannan with Ramna Police Station on August 21 last year on charges of amassing illegal wealth and concealing information about it.

The case statement said Mannan, ex-state minister for housing and public works, concealed information of his property worth Tk 4.59 lakh, and he could not produce documents in favour of his income of Tk 75 lakh.

According to his income tax returns and other related documents, Mannan has movable properties worth Tk 96.89 lakh. But his wealth statement submitted to the ACC on March 9 last year stated that he owned movable properties worth Tk 92.30 lakh.

The same day, the anti-graft body also lodged another case with the same police station against Bodi for hiding wealth information and discrepancies in his wealth statements and income tax returns.

The property value of Bodi rose to Tk 2.88 crore from Tk 47.78 lakh in the last five years, according to his wealth statements submitted to the EC before the 2008 and the January 5, 2014 elections.

Five years back, his yearly income was only Tk 2 lakh, which increased to Tk 15 crore last year.

On October 21 last year, the ACC filed a case against Mannan's wife Sultana with the same police station for illegally amassing wealth worth Tk 3.45 crore and concealing information about property worth Tk 1.86 crore.

The three accused later obtained bail from different courts on different dates.
