A graft case has been filed against lawmaker Kazi Shahid Islam Papul and three of his family members on charge of amassing wealth of Tk more than 2 crore and laundering money of Tk 148 crore.

Md Salahuddin, deputy director of the Anti-Corruption commission (ACC), lodged the case on Wednesday.

On June 7, the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) of Kuwait arrested Papul, lawmaker from Laxmipur-2, on an allegation of his involvement in human trafficking.

Following the arrest, the Kuwaiti government froze Shahid’s bank account.  He holds about five million Kuwaiti dinars, or Tk 1.38 billion in those accounts.

MP Papul is now in Kuwait jail.
