A Dhaka court has rescheduled the submission of the probe report regarding the alleged Meghna-Gomti Bridge toll scam to September 20.

The case, which involves 17 individuals, including ousted Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, centers on allegations of abuse of power and systemic irregularities that reportedly caused a loss of BDT 309 crore to the national exchequer.

The Dhaka Metropolitan Senior Special Judge issued the new date today after the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC), the agency tasked with the investigation, failed to submit its findings as previously scheduled.

The ACC originally filed the case on October 12, 2025, naming Sheikh Hasina and 16 other prominent figures as defendants.

The list of accused includes Amir Hossain Amu, Tofail Ahmed, Khandaker Mosharraf Hossain, Obaidul Quader, Anisul Huq, MA Mannan, MAN Siddique, Md Faruq Jalil, Mohammad Shafiqul Karim, Md Firoz Iqbal, Ibne Alam Hasan, Md Aftab Hossain Khan, Md Abdus Salam, Munir Uz Zaman Chowdhury, Selina Chowdhury, and Ikram Iqbal.

According to the case documents, the irregularities stem from a 2016 contract awarded to Computer Network Systems Ltd (CNS) for toll collection on the Meghna-Gomti Bridge.

Investigators allege that the contract was granted through a single-source tender process, deliberately bypassing competitive bidding requirements.

Under the terms of this five-year agreement, CNS was entitled to a service charge of 17.75 percent of the total toll revenue. Consequently, the firm collected more than BDT 489 crore in bills, an amount described by authorities as significantly higher than those associated with comparable government contracts.

A local court on Tuesday ordered Maksuda Islam, the first wife of Satkhira-4 constituency Member of Parliament Gazi Mohammad Nazrul Islam, to be remanded in judicial custody regarding a case alleging her abetment in the suicide of his second wife, Mariam Khatun.  Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Ripon Hossain issued the directive after law enforcement personnel presented Maksuda in court upon the conclusion of her one-day police remand, requesting her continued detention until the investigation concludes.  The court had granted a one-day remand for Maksuda and a four-day remand for Gazi Mohammad Nazrul Islam on September 21.
