The Anti-Corruption Commission has filed a graft case against former Jamaat MP Gazi Nazrul Islam for concealing his wealth worth over Tk 18.81 lakh in his statement submitted earlier under the current drive against corruption.

Deputy Director of the ACC Khulna office Monjur Morshed filed the case with Shyamnagar police station on Thursday.

According to the case statement, the Jamaat leader, while submitting his wealth statement following a notice from the ACC, had concealed his wealth worth Tk 18,81,447.

Nazrul Islam was on the list of corruption suspects published by the ACC after the declaration of state of emergency in January last year amid a political crisis over election issues.

Nazrul was sent to jail after his surrender to army troops. Later, he was released on bail.
