DHAKA, Mar 29, 2026 (BSS) - The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) today submitted a charge-sheet (CS) against one Humaira Hafiz for acquiring assets beyond her known sources of income.

The information was confirmed by Deputy Director (DD) of Public Relations Department of the ACC headquarters Md. Akhtarul Islam.

According to the ACC, the charge-sheet was approved following an investigation into a case filed on August 20, 2020, with the commission’s Integrated District Office, Dhaka-1. The investigation was conducted by Assistant Director Piyas Pal, while the case was originally filed by Assistant Director (Rtd) Md. Ismail Hossain.

The investigation found that Humaira Hafiz declared assets worth about Taka 11.358 million in her wealth statement. However, the investigation revealed assets totaling Taka 11.820 million in her name, which is Taka 4,62,000 more than the declared money.

Further review of income tax documents showed that her total expenditure including family expenses amounted to Taka 2.230 million. As a result, her total wealth including expenses stood at Taka 14.050 million.

On the other hand, although she reported total income of Taka 13.591 million in tax returns from fiscal years 2010–11 to 2018–19, only Taka 1.625 million was found to be from legitimate sources. This showed that Taka 12.425 million as assets was inconsistent with her known sources of income.

The ACC stated that by acquiring and possessing such assets, the accused has violated sections 26(2) and 27(1) of the Anti-Corruption Commission Act, 2004. Accordingly, the charge sheet has been submitted against her.
