Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina revealed the matter at a press conference after her recent visit to China that the peon of her house has become the owner of Tk 400 crore on Sunday (July 14). Since then, speculation has started about the untold peon.
The Prime Minister said, 'A peon has worked in my house, he is now the owner of Tk 400 crore. He doesn't move without a helicopter! What can I say, it's real. When the truth revealed, I seized his card and fired him. That's what I've taken measures against him.'
Although Jahangir Alam was the peon of the Prime Minister, he introduced himself as the Prime Minister's personal special assistant. Using this identity, he regularly lobbied in the Secretariat. At the same time, he has extorted money from Awami League leaders at various levels. Using the same identity, he also secured the post of vice-president of Noakhali district Awami League. He also formed his own political block in Noakhali-1 parliamentary constituency.
Jahangir Alam was the Awami League nominee from Noakhali-1 constituency in the 12th national election. He did not get the party nomination and became an independent candidate. Jahangir Alam was accused of pressuring the followers of Awami League candidate HM Ibrahim through the administration using the identity of the Prime Minister's Office. Later, a special notification was issued from the Prime Minister's Press Wing on December 23.
