Probe report against Hasina in Meghna-Gomti Bridge toll scam case on 20 Sept

A Dhaka court today (23 June) set 20 September for filing
probe report in a case against 17 individuals, including ousted Prime Minister
Sheikh Hasina, over causing a loss of Tk309 crore to the government through
irregularities and abuse of power by awarding contract to collect toll on the
Meghna-Gomti Bridge.
Dhaka Metropolitan Senior Special
Judge passed the order as the investigating agency Anti-Corruption Commission
(ACC) failed to submit the report today.
The ACC filed the case against 17,
including the ousted prime minister on 12 October 2025.
The other accused in the case are Amir Hossain Amu, Tofail Ahmed, Khandaker
Mosharraf Hossain, Obaidul Quader, Anisul Huq, MA Mannan, MAN Siddique,
Md
Faruq Jalil, Mohammad Shafiqul
Karim, Md Firoz Iqbal, Ibne Alam Hasan, Md Aftab Hossain Khan, Md Abdus Salam,
Munir Uz Zaman Chowdhury, Selina Chowdhury and Ikram Iqbal.
According to the case documents,
Computer Network Systems Ltd (CNS) was given the contract through a
single-source tender, bypassing competitive bidding, in 2016.
The CNS was given a five-year
contract with a service charge of 17.75% of total toll revenue. As a result, it
received more than Tk489 crore in bills -- much higher than comparable
contracts.
