Staff Correspondent: The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) has arrested three officials of Chittagong sea port for embezzling 404 metric tonnes of crude glycerin which was seized at the port.

A team of the corruption watchdog body led by its director Md Abu Sayed arrested the accused on Wednesday.

The arrestees were identified as Md Monwar Hossain, assistant transport inspector (NCT yard) of the Chittagong sea port authority, Nurul Islam Chowdhury, its upper division clerks Md Nurul Islam Chowdhury and Pulak Kanti Das.

Pranab Kumar Bhattacharya, Public Relation Officer (PRO) of ACC, confirmed the news.

Earlier in the day, the ACC filed a case against them with Halishahar Police Station in the port city of Chittagong for allegedly plundering the government's revenue of over Tk 70 lakh from the Chittagong Port.

According to the case statement, all the accused in collusion with each other misappropriated the amount by releasing 404 metric tonnes of crude gliserin from the port showing false documents in September 2015.
