At that time, he asked the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) to investigate the source of the OC's wealth.
Then the court asked to bring the matter as an application (writ).
Following this, a writ was filed with the HC.
According to the news report, OC Monirul has built an eight-storey building in Dhaka while another duplex building is under construction.
