The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) has formed a three-member committee to conduct an inquiry into the allegations against Ziaul Ahsan, a former army major general.
Md Salahuddin, deputy director of ACC, will lead the committee. Ranjit Kumar, assistant director, and Jabed Hasan Sajal, deputy assistant director, will serve the committee as members.
Akhtarul Islam, deputy director and public relations officer of the ACC, confirmed this information to the FE on Wednesday.
Ziaul Ahsan has been criticised for his alleged involvement in various crimes during his career over the past decade, including in enforced disappearances and murders.
He worked in Rapid Action Battalion, National Security Intelligence agency, and National Telecommunication Monitoring Center (NTMC).
The former army officer was a Sheikh Hasina loyalist. He was dismissed from service after the fall of the Hasina-led Awami League government in this year's student-led July-August Anti-Discrimination Mass Movement.
On August 15, law enforcers arrested him from the capital's Khilkhet area in connection with a murder case filed with New Market Police Station.
Ziaul served as the director general of the National Telecommunication Monitoring Centre since 2022, before he was relieved of duty.
