DHAKA: The Anti Corruption commission (ACC) is interrogating BNP standing Committee Member Dr Khandaker Mosharraf Hossain on charges of money laundering on Thursday morning.

A team of the ACC led by its Deputy Director Ahsan Ali started quizzing Mosharraf at the commission’s Segun Bagicha office in the capital 9:50am.

Earlier on Wednesday, he was nabbed by ACC and Gulshan Thana Police from his Gulshan residence.

ACC sources said that Khandaker Mosharraf was held for his alleged involvement in siphoning huge amount of money to United Kingdom.

The anti-graft body further said that the BNP leader deposited around Tk 9.5 crore illegally in two UK-based banks in 2001-2005 while he was minister of BNP-led government. Mosharraf owned a huge amount of wealth during that period, ACC sources added.
