Dhaka, Bangladesh (BBN) - Former shipping minister and AL presidium member, Shajahan Khan, has been arrested from the capital's Dhanmondi area on Thursday night.
A team of detectives arrested him, Rezaul Karim Mallic, additional commissioner of Detective Branch of Police, told media this morning.
He also said details of the arrest would be disclosed later.
Several cases were filed against him after the fall of Sheikh Hasina's government on August 5.
Last month, the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) decided to launch an inquiry into Khan.
Khan, also a former MP from the Madaripur-2 constituency, was previously summoned by the ACC in 2014 over allegations related to irregularities in plot allocation and the accumulation of illegal assets.
His affidavit for the 11th parliamentary election revealed substantial wealth, including two cars, 96 bhori of gold belonging to his wife, two buses, an SUV, a microbus, and a 10-katha plot of land from Rajuk, registered under his wife's name.
Khan also served as the chairman of the standing committee of Ministry of Liberation War Affairs.
