Dhaka, Sep 11 (V7N): The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) has launched an investigation into allegations of corruption and money laundering involving three former Members of Parliament (MPs), as confirmed by Md Aktarul Islam, ACC Deputy Director and Public Relations Officer.

The former MPs under scrutiny are Mohammad Habib Hasan, former MP of Dhaka-18; Advocate Md Nurul Islam Talukder, former MP of Bogra-3; and Mohammad Abdul Wadud, former MP of Chapainawabganj-3.
