The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) has summoned three owners of Hanif Enterprise, a prominent transport company in the country, for interrogation on allegations of amassing wealth illegally.

Abu Bakar Siddique, deputy director of ACC, sent separate letters to their home address, asking them to appear before investigators on August 24.

The three are Md Hanif Mia, his wife Eva Hanif, and his brother Kafil Uddin.

Among them, Hanif was convicted in the 21 August grenade attack case. He, along with former state minister for home affairs Lutfozzaman Babar, was awarded death sentence. He has been on the run for a long time.

Sources said the anti-graft body sent the notices to the Dhanmondi residence of the accused, and Monirul Islam, manager of their apartment.

The trio were earlier asked to face the ACC enquiry team on March 18 this year, but they did not appear before it, the commission said in the letter.
