Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) on Wednesday filed a case against five people including four government officials over forgery in allocation of a government plot in Purbachal project, reports UNB.

ACC Public Relations officer Pranab Kumar Bhattacharjee said the accused colluded to allocate a 5-katha government plot (Purbachal project) in favour of an affected indigenous person, enabling it to be bought at a reduced price, through forgery and abusing power.

The beneficiary's identity, it turns out, was faked.
