The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) has sought income tax documents of Mohammad Shahid Islam, MP of Laxmipur-2 constituency (independent), his family and his sister-in-law from the National Board of Revenue (NBR).   ACC spokesperson Pranab Kumar Bhattacharya said deputy director of ACC Mohammad Salauddin sought the documents from NBR in connection with the MP’s alleged involvement in money laundering and accumulating illegal wealth.   Besides, it also served a notice to the Election Commission to get the electoral affidavit of MP Shahid and his wife Selina Islam.   “The ACC investigation against MP Shahid and his family is going on and the organisation will issue letters to different organisations seeking information about the MP which is a routine work. As far as I know, restriction has been imposed on MP Shahid's family over going outside the country,” the ACC official said.

The Anti-Corruption Commission has decided to closely monitor the distribution of relief materials under the government’s safety net programme following allegations of corruption at the grassroots level.
