The ACC has sent a letter to Toufique Imrose Khalidi asking him to appear at its’ headquarters at Segunbagicha in the city on Nov 11, according to media reports on Tuesday night.

The letter said Khalidi’s statement was required in connection with the allegations of “transferring a huge amount of money” by “hiding location” by himself and his online portal and “earning wealth inconsistent with his known income through illegal activities”.    

Meanwhile, Toufique Imrose Khalidi termed the allegations as “utterly baseless”.

In a statement, Khalidi said, “I was never involved in any irregularity, corruption or illegal activity. I don’t possess any wealth that is inconsistent with my disclosed income.”
