A Dhaka court today (21 July) set 3 August to decide on whether to frame charges and formally begin the trial of former National Board of Revenue (NBR) official Matiur Rahman in a case involving alleged unexplained assets worth around Tk5.5 crore.
Earlier on 5 July, the court fixed today for an order on charge framing but rescheduled the order for 3 August as Dhaka Divisional Special Judge BM Tarikul Kabir was on leave, according to court sources.
The ACC filed two cases against Matiur and his second wife on 15 December 2024 on charges of accumulating illegal wealth and concealing asset information.
According to the case statement, Matiur allegedly acquired assets worth Tk5.28 crore beyond his known sources of income and concealed information about assets worth Tk1.27 crore.
The ACC later approved the charge sheet in the case.
Matiur was arrested by the Detective Branch (DB) of police on 14 January 2025 and has remained in custody since.
He came under widespread public attention in 2024 after a Facebook post showed a young man named Ifat – later identified as Matiur’s son – purchasing a goat worth Tk15 lakh from Sadik Agro in Mohammadpur ahead of Eid-ul-Adha.
