Steps against Jebunnesa after getting specific info

The Anti-corruption Commission (ACC) on Thursday said it will look into Additional Secretary to the Health Services Division Kazi Jebunnesa Begum’s wealth after receiving specific allegations. 

ACC Commissioner (Investigation) Jahurul Haque said this while talking to the media. 

Kazi Jebunnesa Begum was seen harassing and physically assaulting Prothom Alo Senior Correspondent Rozina Islam on Monday. 

A Facebook post that has gone viral since Monday night claimed that Jebunnesa owns three apartments in Canada and one in East London alongside four in Dhaka. It also alleged that she has nearly Tk 100 crore cash deposited in different bank accounts. 

However, the post lacks a specific source of information. 

Rozina was kept confined at the health ministry for more than five hours on Monday before being handed over to police.

Later, she was shown arrested in the case on charges of spiriting away “important” documents.

Investigative journalist Rozina, known for dozens of ground-breaking reports in her career, was charged with breaching the Official Secrets Act 1923.

Rozina Islam is known for her strong reportage of official corruption. She has recently made several investigative reports revealing corruptions in the health sector.
