Sirajganj, Oct 15,V7N- Golbar Hossain Anant, the Chief Post Office Inspector of Sirajganj, has been temporarily suspended following the issuance of an arrest warrant in a case filed by the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC). The suspension took place on October 14, as confirmed by the Post Master General (acting) Kazi Asadul Islam, and was announced by the Sirajganj Post Office Post Master General Md. Ali Ashraf on October 15.

The case against Golbar Hossain Anant stems from an investigation into his illegal wealth acquisition. According to court sources, the investigating officer submitted a charge sheet on May 13 after finding discrepancies in his asset statement. Golbar Hossain Anant was supposed to appear in court on October 1 but failed to do so, prompting the court to issue an arrest warrant.

Anant, who joined the post office as an inspector in 2000, had initially declared assets worth 1.1 crore BDT, including immovable assets of 63 lakh BDT and movable assets of 48 lakh BDT, when he submitted his statement to the ACC in 2018. However, upon verification, it was discovered that his total assets amounted to 1.31 crore BDT, including an additional 20 lakh BDT in undisclosed assets. As a result, the ACC filed a case against him under Section 26(b) of the ACC Act 2004, which relates to the concealment of asset information.
