On 21 August 2014, Khan was sued by the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) on charges of amassing illegal wealth. Khan's asset increased to over Tk 5.25 crore from Tk 5.39 lakh in 6 years, according to his wealth statements submitted to the Election Commission.[4] Three days later, a Dhaka court granted him bail till 13 October in the case.[5]

The ACC charged Khan and his wife, Syeda Hasina Sultana, in another corruption case on 8 May 2015.[6]

No charges were framed against the two corruption cases as of May 2019.[7]
