Former Bangladesh Army chief General (retd) SM Shafiuddin Ahmed did not appear before the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) on Monday despite being summoned for questioning over allegations of illegally accumulating wealth through corruption and irregularities.
The ACC had asked Shafiuddin to appear at its headquarters on September 14 and provide a photocopy of his National Identity Card.
The commission is investigating allegations that he acquired illegal assets through various irregularities and corrupt practices.
ACC officials said the commission had summoned him to record his statement as part of the inquiry.
A two-member investigation team, headed by ACC Director Md Abul Hasnat, has been formed to investigate the allegations and submit a report.
The ACC began its investigation into the allegations against Shafiuddin on December 14, 2025.
Shafiuddin served as Bangladesh’s Chief of Army Staff from June 2021 to June 2024, when he retired after completing a three-year tenure.
