Rajshahi, Aug 31 (V7N) - Former city mayor and Awami League Presidium member AHM Khairuzzaman Liton has been missing with his family since the afternoon of August 5. Reports indicate that he left behind assets valued at approximately Tk 1,000 crore.
 
On the night of August 5, looters raided Liton's residence, setting it ablaze. The city hall was also targeted and set on fire.
 
Sources suggest that around Tk 20 crore was stored in a secret chamber within the city hall, while his home contained about 10 crore taka, as well as gold jewelry, foreign currency, and valuable furnishings, all of which were stolen.
 
Intelligence reports confirm that over the past 16 years, Liton’s family accumulated assets totaling roughly Tk 1,000 crore. According to local resident Agar Ali, prior to 2008, Liton’s wealth was limited to some inherited land and two houses. Now, however, Liton and his family are reported to have amassed substantial wealth, with even bricks from his property being taken by local residents.
