The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) has launched a probe into allegations of fund embezzlement against a number of leaders of Hefazat-e-Islam, including its chief Junayed Babunagari and joint secretary Mamunul Haque.
The Hefazat leaders are facing allegations of embezzling crores of taka from the funds of their organisation, different madrasas, orphanages and Islamic institutions and foreign aid meant for spending on religious purposes.
