An investigation by the Pirojpur district office of the Local Government Engineering Department found corruption and embezzlement totaling Tk 1,195 crore across at least eight infrastructure projects in Pirojpur between 2020 and 2024. These projects were awarded to firms owned by Mohiuddin Maharaj and his family. The investigation documented issues including premature and duplicate payments, substandard materials, and poor recordkeeping in these projects.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The findings detail massive overpayments and delays in public works. For example, a road project received Tk 13.23 crore against a Tk 15.92 crore contract value, yet construction had not begun three years later. This indicates the alleged misuse of public funds in regional infrastructure development.
