ACC seeks wealth statement of MP Shahid, family members

The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) today served notices to Mohammad Shahid Islam, MP of Laxmipur- 2 constituency (independent) and his family members, seeking their wealth statements.

ACC spokesperson Pranab Kumar Bhattacharya confirmed the matter.

ACC Assistant Director M Salahuddin served the notices to MP Shahid, his wife lawmaker Selina Islam, their daughter Kazi Wafa Islam, and Selina's sister Jemin Akter, he said.

They were asked to submit their copies of passports, national identity cards, TINs and income tax returns within 15 days.

The Criminal Investigation Department (CID) of Kuwait detained Shahid Islam, managing director and CEO of a company there, on Saturday night.

Foreign Minister Dr AK Abdul Momen on Sunday termed the incident "regrettable and shameful".
