Minu sued for hiding wealth
2007-11-19
The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) in Rajshahi yesterday sued Rajshahi City Corporation Mayor Mizanur Rahman Minu and his wife Salma Shahadat for illegally accumulating wealth worth over Tk 3 crore and concealing information on their wealth statements.

In Dhaka, the ACC pressed charges against former Awami League (AL) lawmaker Dr HBM Iqbal, four of his family members and detained former BNP lawmaker M Naser Rahman and his wife in connection with graft cases filed for concealing wealth in their statements.

Meanwhile, the hearing on the seven-day remand prayer to interrogate Tarique Rahman, detained senior joint secretary general of BNP, in connection with a case filed for extorting Tk 81 lakh from a businessman, is scheduled for today in his presence.

#6  Duh. The 'Tk' means the Taka, the Bangladesh currency. 1 Tk crore = 10,000,000 taka = $146,145 at today's rate.

#5  1 crore = 10 million Pakistani rupees = $163,347 or so at the moment.

But I don't know what the 'TK 3' means.

A lakh = 100,000 Pakistani rupees = $1,633.
