Three countries · one standard
Civil and military corruption, side by side.
For every country we hold politicians, officials and generals to the same test: what did a court, regulator or official record actually establish?
The Supreme Court ruled that coal blocks allocated since 1993 were given out illegally and cancelled 214 of 218 allocations. In 2017 a special CBI court convicted former coal secretary H.C. Gupta in one of the allocation cases.
Former Air Chief arrested over VVIP helicopter deal
India scrapped its deal for 12 AgustaWestland helicopters in 2014 over bribery allegations. The CBI arrested former Air Chief S.P. Tyagi in 2016 and charged him in 2017. He was granted bail and denies wrongdoing.
An accountability court sentenced Imran Khan to 14 years and Bushra Bibi to 7 years over the handling of £190m returned by UK authorities and land given to the Al-Qadir Trust. Both deny the charges; their appeals are before the Islamabad High Court.
A field general court martial sentenced Lt Gen (retd) Faiz Hameed to 14 years on four charges, including misuse of authority and government resources and causing wrongful loss to persons. The government linked it to the Top City housing complaint. He has appealed.
A Dhaka special court sentenced Sheikh Hasina to 21 years, seven in each of three cases, over the illegal allocation of government plots in the Purbachal New Town project. Her son and daughter were also sentenced. All were tried in absentia.
US names former army chief for significant corruption
The US State Department designated General (retd) Aziz Ahmed, saying he helped ensure improper awarding of military contracts and took bribes for government appointments. He denies the allegations. No Bangladeshi court has ruled on them.

जनता की आवाज़Janta ki awaaz · Indiaعوام کی للکارAwaam ki lalkaar · Pakistanজনতার কণ্ঠJanatar kontho · Bangladesh
No party, no general, no sponsor sets this agenda. Corruption survives on silence, and every document shared, checked and published builds a public record owned by the people of India, Pakistan and Bangladesh, and by the generations to come.
