The ACC issued a letter asking Azad to be present at the commission on Apr 3, the graft watchdog’s spokesman Pranab Kumar Bhattacharya said on Wednesday. The graft watchdog’s notice, served by Director Mir Md Joynul Abedin, accuses Azad of evading taxes in millions of taka and amassing wealth illicitly. Azad, 59, who made a fortune in readymade garment business, is Managing Director of Ha-Meem Group. The ACC wrapped up the case like many others after the Awami League came to power. Azad, a vice-president of Faridpur district Awami League, had been involved with leftist politics during his student days.
