Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) is set to launch an enquiry into the allegations against Ramna Police Station Officer-in-charge Monirul Islam of amassing illegal wealth.
A letter signed by ACC Director Uttam Kumar Mandal on August 17 said that the commission has decided to investigate the allegation against the police official.
The ACC has directed it's Director General (Special) to take steps in this regard, it added.
In a latest development, the High Court on Sunday also directed the ACC to conduct an inquiry into the allegation against the police official.
The HC asked ACC to wrap up the probe within three months.
An HC bench of Justice Md Nazrul Islam Talukder and Justice Khizir Hayat issued the order after settling a writ petition.
Supreme Court lawyer Syed Sayedul Haque Sumon moved the court with the writ petition while Advocate Mahbub Shafiq appeared on behalf of Monirul.
Earlier on August 11, Sumon, on the High Court's orders, lodged a complaint with the ACC over Monirul's 'illegal wealth', citing a report published in the media.
ACC lawyer Khurshid told the court that the agency has now decided to launch a probe based on the complaint.
