Former interim government adviser and National Citizen Party (NCP) spokesperson Asif Mahmud Shojib Bhuiyan has filed a writ petition with the High Court challenging the legality of the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) publicly stating that it had found “initial truth” in corruption and irregularity allegations at the beginning of an investigation.
The petition also seeks directions preventing the ACC from making defamatory statements through press briefings about matters under investigation and broadcasting them through the media.
Asif’s lawyer, Advocate Zahirul Islam Musa, filed the petition at the relevant section of the High Court today (28 September) and later briefed journalists about it.
