According to the case statement, Rezaul Alam concealed information regarding assets worth Tk 967,591 while he showed 2.52 crore in his asset statement submitted to the ACC on March 31, 2022.
Additionally, the ACC’s investigation revealed evidence of assets worth Tk 14,299,050 that are inconsistent with his known sources of income.
