ACC arrests UP chairman for stealing VGF rice

The Anti-Corruption Commission  (ACC) yesterday arrested the chairman of Senhati union parishad of Khulna for misappropriating 150 sacks of rice allocated for special vulnerable group feeding (VGF).      

Gazi Ziaur Rahman went into hiding since Digholia's Upazila Nirbahi Officer Abdur Rahman filed a case against him on September 8.

Ziaur stored all the rice that he got for distributing among the poor ahead of Eid-ul- Fitr. Police seized the sacks which were being transported from his warehouse on that day.

He was handed over to Sonadanga Model police.
