Former Mayor of Gazipur City Corporation, Jahangir Alam, has been accused of widespread corruption, irregularities, and embezzlement of public funds. These serious allegations led to his suspension from the mayoral post on November 25, 2021, by the Ministry of Local Government. The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) has launched an investigation, and the High Court has given a six-month deadline to complete it.

💰 Key Corruption Allegations:

• Fake Tenders and RFQs: Tender processes were manipulated to favor specific companies.
• Unjustified Hiring: Many unnecessary and unqualified people were appointed to various positions.
• Fake Bills and Vouchers: During the Bishwa Ijtema, fake bills were used to siphon off funds.
• Market Lease Money Embezzlement: Revenue from local market leases was not properly deposited but instead misappropriated.
• Land Grabbing and Road Widening: Land was seized without compensation, under the excuse of road expansion.

Investigations by the ACC and the Ministry have confirmed these irregularities, causing significant financial losses to the city. Legal proceedings are currently ongoing, with over a hundred cases reportedly filed against him.
