Staff Reporter :
The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) yesterday sued 17 people, including parents of Sohel Rana and mayor of Savar Municipality in a case with Savar Police Station on charge of forging Rana Plaza design.
ACC Deputy Director Mofidul Islam got the case registered in the record book of the police station at noon.
On Thursday, the anti-graft watch body at a meeting at its head office in the city gave the approval of the case.
Rana has been excluded, since he is not the owner of the building that collapsed causing death to over 1100 people.
The owners of Rana Plaza obtained permission for a six-storey building. But they resorted to design-forgery adding four more above six-storeyed.
Abdul Khalek and Marzina, parents of Sohel Rana, Refayet Ullah, Mayor of Savar Municipality, Uttam Kumar Roy, Rafiqul Islam, Mahbubur Rahman, Mohammad Ali, A K M Masud Reza, Hasan Rasel, Farzana Islam and Abdul Mutaleb, among others, have been indicted in the case, ACC PRO said.
