ACC Approves Charge Sheet against Shahid

The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) has approved a charge sheet against Mohammad Shahid, owner of the Regent Hospital, in a case of illegal acquisition of assets worth Tk 1.69 crore and non-submission of asset declaration.

ACC Deputy Director (Public Relations) Muhammad Arif Sadeq said the charge sheet was approved at a commission meeting on Wednesday (December 29).

The ACC investigation has revealed that the chairman of Regent Hospital Mohammad Shahid did not submit the statement of assets within the stipulated time and acquired movable assets of Tk 1,69,17,513 which were inconsistent with the source of income.

Earlier, the ACC had issued a notice to Shahid to submit his assets within 21 working days of November 5, 2020. He was given another 15 working days as he did not submit it on time. The ACC filed a case against him on January 1 this year after an investigation into his failure to submit a statement of assets.

Later, the commission's deputy director Mohammad Farid Ahmed Patwari investigated the case and recently submitted a report to the ACC, which approved the charge sheet on Wednesday.
