At the same time, an order has been issued to confiscate assets worth Tk 9.3 million, which are not known to him.
Jessore Special Judge Nitai Chandra Saha issued the order on Monday in a case of illegal acquisition of wealth and concealment of wealth. The ACC had earlier filed the case in 2008.
BNP central committee member and Shailkupa Upazila BNP president Md. Abdul Wahab was a two-term parliamentarian from Jhenaidah-1 constituency.
