The reports of housing and public works ministry investigation committees submitted last week were presented in the High Court on Sunday. The bench of Justice Tariq ul Hakim and Justice Md Shohrowardi had ordered the investigation following a writ petition seeking judicial investigation into reports on the alleged irregularities in the project. Even each pillow, the reports claimed, was bought for Tk 5,957, and its carrying cost from the shop to the building put at Tk 760. Sayedul Haque Sumon, the lawyer for the writ petitioner, and Attorney General Mahbubey Alam were present when the investigation reports were presented to the court. The attorney general could not give any update on measures taken after the allegations had surfaced.
