The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) has cleared four top officials of Bangladesh Petroleum Corporation (BPC) of the charge of embezzling Tk 100 crore by illegally selling bitumen in local market.
The Commission has given clean chit to them through an official notification signed by its Secretary Abu M Mustafa Kamal recently.
The officials of the BPC are Md Yunusur Rahman,
former Chairman of BPC (now Secretary of the Banking and Financial Institution Division), MS Rezwan Khan, BPC Director (previously Joint Secretary of the Commerce Ministry), Dipak Chakrabarty, its former secretary (Joint Secretary) and Md Yusuf Hossain Bhuiyan, BPC General Manager.
The ACC received an allegation in 2015 that the top BPC officials in collusion with one another sold bitumen in black market by preparing fake work order and thus swindle Tk 100 crore from the Petroleum Corporation.
Receiving the complaint, the national anti-graft body initiated a probe against them. But the ACC during its inquiry did not find any irregularity in selling bitumen in local market.
On May 27 in 2015, the ACC interrogated then Joint Secretary of the Commerce Ministry MS Rezwan Khan in connection with the bitumen selling scam.
