Finally the headquarters of Messrs QC Shipping Lines, owned by BNP leader Salahuddin Quader Chowdhury, came under the raids of the joint forces.

The members of the joint forces reportedly searched every nook and corner of the shipping line's headquarters on the second floor of the Shafi Bhaban for nearly two hours on Thursday.

The investigators reportedly took away dozens of files and documents of suspicious business dealings by isolating the whole office from external communications as staffs inside asked to switch off their cell-phone and other means of communication.

Some of the raiders admitted that they came from the capital to investigate into different charges lodged against Salauddin Quader Chowdhury, former advisor to the ex-prime minister Begum Khaleda Zia.

Chief Executive of the shipping lines Swapan Goash and controller of accounts Mohammad Iqbal came under the intensive interrogation of the joint forces during the two-hour raid.

The joint force people kept mum on their raid. Officials at Anti Corruption Commission (ACC), Chittagong Divisional wing, however, did not want to comment on the drive.
