Railwaygate Scandal
ACC asks Azam to face it Sunday
The Anti-Corruption Commission has again asked Azam Khan, whistleblower driver of Omar Faruk Talukder, APS to former railway minister Suranjit Sengupta, to appear before the commission on Sunday over the railwaygate scandal.
The move came after Azam in a recent television interview pointed finger at Suranjit.
"On October 10, ACC for the third time issued letters to Azam to give his statement. He was asked to come next Sunday," said Rashedur Reza, assistant director of ACC.
Earlier, the ACC sent two copies of the same letter to the family members of Azam, who went into hiding since the incident on April 9, ACC sources said.
A family member of Azam received the letter at Azam's residence at Naoga village in Motlob South upazila of Chandpur, they said.
Abut Azam's security, ACC Chairman Ghulam Rahman said, "If Azam seeks security, we will ask relevant agencies to provide him with security. He deserves it as a citizen."
On April 9 around 11:30pm, Azam drove Faruk's microbus into Pilkhana and blew the whistle that there was illegal money in the vehicle.
