Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) filed a lawsuit against the United Hospital with Gulshan Police Station on Thursday, reports UNB. ACC Deputy Director Md Mahbubul Alam filed the case for the Hospital's alleged evasion of Tk 21 crore tax to the former Dhaka City Corporation. According to the First Information Record (FIR), a six member investigation team formed by ACC found that the hospital did not pay a net tax of Tk. 21, 44, 26,993 since its inception until December 31, 2011. The Commission placed charges against Managing Director of United Hospital Faridur Rahman Khan, and a former Dhaka City Corporation Commissioner and a member of Assessment Review Board (ARB) of Dhaka City Corporation Rahima Begum for illegal facilitation of tax in favour of the hospital.
