A Chattogram court on Tuesday ordered the seizure of assets worth over Tk11 crore belonging to Additional Deputy Police Commissioner (Crime) of Chattogram Metropolitan Police Mohammad Kamrul Hasan and his wife Saima Begum.

Chattogram Metropolitan Sessions and Senior Special Judge Ziabunnessa passed the order following an appeal from the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) Chattogram office.

The court directed the seizure of all movable and immovable assets, including property deeds, flats, and partial company shares, held in the couple’s names.

ACC lawyer Kazi Sanowar Ahmed Lavlu confirmed the news of the court order.

The court ordered the confiscation of assets worth Tk11,34,35,919 which are allegedly beyond the couple’s known sources of income.

Kamrul Hasan, who previously served as the ADC (prosecution) of CMP, resides with his wife at West Nasirabad in Chattogram city.

According to ACC sources, Kamrul joined the Bangladesh Police in 1989 as a sub-inspector and was finally promoted to the current position.

During the investigation, it was found that Kamrul had acquired assets worth Tk13,96,31,911, including movable assets worth Tk12,72,92,695 and immovable assets worth Tk1,23,39,216.

In contrast, Kamrul’s legitimate sources of income amounted to Tk4,80,32,087, revealing a disparity of Tk9,86,28,065. He was found to have accumulated assets worth Tk9,73,22,044 beyond his known income sources.

Similarly, Saima Begum has assets worth Tk2.53 crore, including immovable assets worth Tk1.25 lakh and movable assets worth Tk1.99 crore. Against the acquisition of this wealth, her legitimate and acceptable source of income was found to be Tk40,14,433. The investigation found assets worth Tk1,62,85,188 beyond her known sources of income.

The ACC, after its preliminary investigation, found sufficient evidence of assets disproportionate to the known sources of income and submitted an application to the court to seize these assets under Section 26(1) of the Anti-Corruption Commission Act, 2004, said the ACC lawyer.
