Dhaka, July 23, 2025: The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) has launched an operation targeting allegations of financial mismanagement in Bangladesh Railway’s ‘Luggage Van Project’ and irregularities in passenger services. On Monday, a team from the ACC’s head office collected relevant tender documents and procurement records as part of the investigation.
During the operation, an ACC team inspected the Kishoreganj Express and Joyantika Express trains. The inspection revealed that, despite allocations for soap, handwash, tissue, and air fresheners for each coach, these items were not provided to passengers. However, the railway’s registers falsely recorded that these supplies were provided and cleaning tasks were completed.
