Mahbub Pial, Faridpur
The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) has filed two separate cases against former Faridpur Traffic Police Inspector (Administration) Tuhin Lasker and his wife, Jamila Parveen, on charges of acquiring illegal wealth worth approximately Tk 6.10 crore and money laundering.
The cases were lodged on Wednesday afternoon by ACC Assistant Director Mostafiz at the commission's Faridpur Integrated District Office under Sections 26(2) and 27(1) of the Anti-Corruption Commission Act, 2004, and Sections 4(2) and 4(3) of the Money Laundering Prevention Act, 2012. The case documents were subsequently submitted to Faridpur’s Senior Special Judge's Court.
According to the First Information Reports (FIRs), Tuhin Lasker faces charges involving Tk 77,06,262 in unexplained wealth, while his wife, Jamila Parveen, is accused of accumulating illegal assets worth Tk 5,32,97,000.
Investigators revealed that the couple had declared substantial personal loans in their asset statements—Tk 67,24,226 by Tuhin Lasker and Tk 1,28,69,992 by his wife. However, ACC inquiries found no tangible existence of these loans.
The FIRs further state that Tuhin Lasker allegedly amassed multi-million-taka fortunes through abuse of power, extortion, and regular monthly tolls collected from bus and truck terminals. Preliminary inquiries into the allegations were conducted by ACC Assistant Director Imran Akon, who uncovered massive discrepancies between the couple's declared assets and verified holdings. Following head office approval, Assistant Director Mostafiz filed the formal charges.
Tuhin Lasker joined the police force as a sergeant on April 19, 2001, and served in Faridpur for nearly nine years across two separate tenures. He also held postings in the Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP), Khulna, Rajbari, Manikganj, and Chattogram.
Originally hailing from Basudebpur village in Ujani union under Muksudpur upazila of Gopalganj, Tuhin Lasker, alongside his wife Jamila Parveen—a native of Bhangagate village in Abhaynagar upazila of Jashore—currently resides at a residence named "White Palace" in the Habeli Gopalpur area of Faridpur town.
ACC Faridpur Integrated District Office Deputy Director Ratan Kumar Das, who has been assigned as the investigation officer for the cases, stated that preliminary findings substantiated the corruption and money laundering allegations.
