three others at the ACC's integrated district office-1. Later on November 12,
the court accepted the statement of the case.
According
to the case statement, though 23-year-old Jesmin Pradhan has no source of
income of her own, the ACC has found illegal assets worth Tk2.31 crore. Hiding
behind companies that existed on paper alone, Jesmin's five bank accounts were
