The authorities are also investigating 10 former MPs for acquiring wealth beyond their reported sources of income. They joined former Awami League MPs BM Muzammel Haque, Kamrul Ashraf Khan Poton, Shirajul Islam Mollah and Shamsul Haque Bhuiyan on the commission's bad books. It started cases against 22 people named in that list, most of whom are noted leaders of the ruling Awami League and its youth wing, Jubo League. Similar complaints against Bhola-4 MP Jakob, a former deputy minister, prompted an investigation by the ACC but little progress has been made so far. Among the former MPs, ACC froze the bank accounts of BNP's Ruhul Quddus Talukdar Dulu and his wife, both of whom have faced questioning.
