DHAKA, March 05, 2026 (BSS) - A court here today ordered the attachment of some immovable properties of Motijheel Ideal School and College's deputy assistant engineer Atiqur Rahman Khan, over graft allegations.
The properties include two flats and a plot in the city's Rampura, 952 decimals of land in Kaliganj, Gazipur, a six-storied building and a 3.5 katha plot in the name of his wife, Nahida Islam Nipa, in the city's Badda area.
Dhaka Metropolitan Senior Special Judge Md Sabbir Faiz passed the orders following two separate petitions filed by the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC).
According to the petition, Atiqur Rahman concealed information about movable and immovable assets worth Taka 1.74 crore in his wealth statement. The petition said he illegally acquired and possessed movable and immovable assets worth Taka 2.35 crore, which are inconsistent with his known sources of income, by providing false and baseless statements.
It further alleged that Taka 7.26 crore, obtained through bribery and corruption, was transacted through 47 bank accounts, while he concealed the illegal nature, source and location of the money.
The ACC filed a case against him on charges of controlling ownership in disguise and concealing illicit assets, and the case is currently under investigation.
During the investigation, reliable sources revealed that Atiqur Rahman is attempting to transfer his owned and interest-related immovable properties. If the properties are transferred, the objectives of the case - including submission of the charge sheet, trial proceedings and possible confiscation of illicit assets in favour of the state upon conviction - could be frustrated.
In a separate petition, Nahida Islam Nipa, the ACC stated that the immovable assets acquired in her name should be attached to prevent their transfer.
