Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) Chairman Moinuddin Abdullah has stepped down from his position, while two commissioners have followed suit.

The ACC chairman confirmed the information to the reporters on Tuesday afternoon, saying he and two commissioners – Jahurul Haque (investigation) and Asia Khatun (inquiry) – submitted resignations.

He, however, did not disclose the reasons behind their resignation.

In 2021, former senior secretary to agriculture ministry Moinuddin Abdullah was appointed as new chairman of the ACC through a gazette notification of the cabinet division.

Commissioner Asia Khatun joined the organisation as Commissioner on 2 July 2023. A notification was issued appointing him on 13 June of that year.
