Six more corruption suspects, including land sub-registrars and their families, appealed to the Anti-Corruption Commission willing to confess their offences voluntarily, said an ACC official on Monday.
ACC director-general (admin) Hanif Iqbal said that those applications would be placed before the commission soon for its decision.
He declined to give details of the applicants but said, ‘Most of them are sub-registrars and their families.’
The ACC earlier on August 14 sent a list of 17 government officials to the Truth and Accountability Commission.
The civil servants included a divisional forest officer and a former chief engineer of the Roads and Highways Department.
TAC chairman Justice Habibur Rahman Khan and his two deputies, Manjur Rashid and Asif Ali, are now scrutinising the case records of the graft suspects seeking TAC mercy, officials said.
The truth commission may start hearing of the appeals next week.
It started functioning on August 3 with a five-month tenure and set September 1 as the deadline for submitting mercy appeals.
