The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) on Tuesday summoned Md Shahidur Rahman, director general (DG) of Bangladesh Water Development Board (BWDB), over allegations of 'forgery' in obtaining freedom-fighter (FF) certificate.
ACC assistant director Selina Monir sent a notice to the BWDB DG in this regard.
The DG will have to appear at the ACC's Segunbagicha office in the capital on November 20, officials said.
UNB adds: As per directives of the Liberation War Affairs Ministry in April 2010, the BWDB examined the FF certificates of its 160 officials who claimed to be freedom fighters and identified that only 32 officials received FF certificates following the proper procedures.
The rest of the 128 BWDB officials, including its director general, did not show authentic information against their certificates.
The job age limit of Shahidur Rahman was over in December 2013, but he is still in the service as he got it extended showing a FF certificate, the ACC sources said.
