The Anti-Corruption Commission on Wednesday filed four cases against former two presidents of Bangladesh Jewellers’ Association Enamul Haque Khan and Dilip Kumar Agarwala and their wives on charges of amassing illegal wealth.
The commission filed the cases at one of its meetings, said its deputy director for public relations Aktarul Islam.
The commission filed a case against Enamul Haque Khan on charges of amassing illegal assets worth Tk 2.47 crore and suspicious transactions of Tk 144.47 crore in his 12 bank accounts.
Another case was filed against Enamul’s wife Sharmin Khan for amassing Tk 7.37 crore and suspicious transactions of Tk 5.22 crore in seven bank accounts.
The commission filed a case against Dilip Kumar Agarwala, also managing director of Diamond World, on charges of amassing illegal wealth worth Tk 112.47 crore and suspicious transactions of Tk 755 crore in his 35 bank accounts.
Another case was filed against Dilip’s wife Sabita Agarwala for amassing illegal wealth worth Tk 45.70 crore and suspicious transactions of Tk 213 crore in eight bank accounts.
On July 22, the Dhaka Metropolitan Senior Special Judge Court imposed travel bans on Dilip Kumar, Enamul Haque Khan and their family members over allegations of amassing illegal wealth through gold smuggling during the Awami League regime.
Earlier on April 11 this year, Enamul Haque Khan was expelled from BAJUS.
Dilip Kumar Agarwala, also a member of the Awami League’s central sub-committee on industry and commerce, is currently in jail in connection with a separate case.
On September 4, 2024, Dilip was arrested by the Rapid Action Battalion in Dhaka’s Gulshan area.
He also faces multiple charges related to violent attacks during anti-discrimination protests in 2024.
