DHAKA, April 15, 2025 (BSS) - The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) today filed a case against Tulip Rizwana Siddiq, daughter of Sheikh Rehana and niece of former prime minister Sheikh Hasina, and two others for grabbing a flat at a project of Eastern Housing Limited in city’s Gulshan area.

The two other accused of the case are former assistant legal advisers of Rajdhani Unnayan Katripokkha (Rajuk) Shah Md Khasruzzaman and Sardar Mosharaf Hossain.

ACC Director General-(Prevention) Md Akhter Hossain disclosed the information at a media briefing at its headquarters in city’s Segunbagicha area. Deputy Director of the anti-graft body Monirul Islam filed the case with its Dhaka Integrated district office.

The ACC DG told the reporters that the accused persons in connivance with each other illegally grabbed a flat from the Eastern Housing Limited in Gulshan-2 without paying any money through conspiracy and criminal misconducts and misusing power.
