The Criminal Investigation Department (CID) has decided to investigate money laundering allegations against Jahangir Alam, also known as "Pani Jahangir" who used to serve at Sheikh Hasina's residence Sudha Sadan. Jahangir is accused of amassing a fortune of Tk 400 crore.
According to a press statement signed by CID's Special Superintendent of Police (media) Azad Rahman said, Jahangir, also the owner of AK Real Estate Ltd, has allegedly laundered a significant amount of money to the United States through hundi.
Jahangir initially served at Sheikh Hasina's residence Sudha Sadan, responsible for delivering food and water during various programmes, also earning him the nickname "Pani Jahangir".
However, Jahangir, also the former vice president of Noakhali District Awami League, began identifying himself as a personal assistant to the former prime minister and amassed wealth, claiming to wield significant lobbying influence. He accumulated substantial assets in both Noakhali and Dhaka, the statement reads.
