The active role of the brokers' gang was revealed in the operation. The ACC team arrested seven brokers red-handed and handed them over to the Upazila Health Officer. Later, the mobile court sentenced them to various terms of imprisonment and fines.

The initial truth of the allegations was found through inspection, statements of service recipients and analysis of collected records.
On the other hand, an enforcement team from the ACC head office conducted a raid on allegations of irregularities and corruption in the allocation of plots in the Purbachal New City Project in collusion with dishonest officials of the Rajdhani Unnayan Kartripakkha (Rajuk).

In addition, the ACC, Integrated District Office, Jashore, conducted a raid on allegations of illegal sale of remaining rice by showing low-quality rice stock and low quantity at the Navaran Government Food Warehouse in Sharsha Upazila of Jashore district.
During the verification of the actual quantity of rice stock in the warehouse, evidence of low-quality rice was found in ten sacks. In addition, the warehouse officer failed to show the list of paddy collected from the farmers.
