The Anti-Corruption Commission does not have the jurisdiction to arrest and bring back home BNP Senior Vice-Chairman Tarique Rahman from abroad, a top official of the watchdog said Thursday.

“The court and law enforcing agencies are to deal with this,” Bangla daily Prothom Alo quoted ACC Secretary Faizur Rahman Chowdhury to be saying at a press conference at the commission secretariat at Segunbagicha in the capital.

According to him, ACC does not have enough information about Tarique to arrest Tarique “as said earlier”.

“In fact, the ACC doesn’t have the power to arrest anyone. It needs to take the help of law enforcement agencies for making any arrest,” he maintained.
