Corruption charges

On 30 December 2019, Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) filed three cases against Awal. In the first case, he, along with his wife, Laila Parvin, took lease of a government land using fake documents and built a three-storied building on it. In the second case, he was accused of illegally grabbing another land and built a bungalow in Swarupkati Upazila. The third case accused him of grabbing a 44 decimal pond known as “Rajar Pukur” in Pirojpur town and erecting a boundary wall to keep it in his possession.[6] They took interim bail from the High Court on 7 January 2020.[7] On 3 March, a Pirojpur court ordered to send Awal and Parvin to jail after rejecting their bail prayer.[8] But the court reversed the ruling four hours later and granted the bail.[9][10] Meanwhile, District and Sessions judge, Abdul Mannan, was stand released on the charges of corruption.[9] On 21 September, the Pirojpur court extended the bail for another month.[2]
