The Chittagong Customs Authority has decided to auction the duty-free imported luxury cars of former MPs. A total of 24 cars will be put up for online auction, which will start next Sunday.

The cars up for auction include Toyota Land Cruisers. These cars were imported by Mohammad Sadiq, ABM Anisuzzaman, Tarana Halim, Shahjahan Omar and several former MPs. Chittagong Customs Deputy Commissioner Saidul Islam said that there will be an opportunity to see these cars kept in the new car shed directly from February 2-4.
