Milk Vita vice chair, 6 others get ACC clean chits

The Anti Corruption Commission (ACC) has cleared the vice chairman of Bangladesh Milk Producers' Co-operative Union Limited, popularly known as Milk Vita, and six others of graft charges, reports UNB.

The commission at a recent meeting gave the clean chits to Milk Vita vice chairman Shafiqur Rahman and others, as it did not find their involvement in graft, an ACC source said.

In 2014, ACC received an allegation that a seven-member recruitment committee, led by Shafiqur Rahman, took bribe from about 500 workers for enlisting their names in the temporary workers' list of Milk Vita.

ACC assistant director M Amirul Islam carried out inquiry into the graft allegation.
