“Financing the construction of the Padma Bridge is a turning point of Bangladesh and the credit for that solely goes to Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina,” he said. In December that year, the Anti-Corruption Commission started a case accusing him and six others of deliberately appointing SNC-Lavalin as a consultant for the Padma Bridge in exchange for bribes. After the Padma Bridge corruption case was closed, Mosharraf was given the job to helm the industries ministry in October 2014. “I was able to show my skills thanks to the prime minister. I will be there.”Mosharraf has written a book on his involvement in the Padma Bridge and the events surrounding it, titled “Padma Bridge: Triumph of Honesty & Confidence”.
