The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) has launched an investigation into allegations of daily extortion amounting to Tk 1.65 crore by Khandaker Enayet Ullah, the General Secretary of Bangladesh Road Transport Owners Association.
Sources in the ACC have said that the inquiry is based on claims of systematic extortion involving transport-related fees and levies.
As part of its investigation, the ACC has issued a notice to the BRTA requesting details of the personal vehicles owned by Enayet Ullah and family. It was sent by ACC Deputy Director Nurul Huda.
In response, Khandaker Enayet Ullah told the media, "The allegations made against me in the ACC are not true. Those who have made these allegations are individuals who were expelled from the Dhaka Road Transport Association. However, it is the ACC's responsibility to investigate any corruption. I have no further comment on this matter."
