UNB, Dhaka :
Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) chairman Iqbal Mahmood on Wednesday claimed that the conviction rate in graft cases filed by his Commission reached 70 percent in the last five months.
“We’ve been informed that the conviction rate in graft is about 90 percent in Bhutan…in Bangladesh, graft accused have been
