Earlier on Sunday, Rezaul Karim, also the executive officer of BSEC, submitted his resignation letter from the spokesperson to the commission authorities, officials familiar with the matter told The Business Standard.
Rezaul was first appointed as the spokesperson during the tenure of the Shibli Rubayat Ul Islam-led commission and held the position until the departure of ousted prime minister Sheikh Hasina.
Afterwards, the new commission appointed BSEC Director Farhana Faruqui to the role. However, in October last year, the commission reappointed Rezaul as the spokesperson.
In September last year, the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) launched an investigation into allegations of fraud and deception against former BSEC chairman Shibli and eight other officials, including Rezaul.
Additionally, the government cancelled passports of nine individuals, including the former chairman. Rezaul's name is also on that list.
