DHAKA, June 30, 2019 (BSS) – Suspended Deputy Inspector General (DIG) of
Police Mizanur Rahman today filed a plea seeking anticipatory bail in a graft
case.
Confirming the filing of the plea, Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC)
counsel Khurshid Alam Khan said High Court division bench comprising Justice
Obaidul Hassan and Justice SM Kuddus Zaman may hear the matter.
ACC director Monjur Morshed filed the case on June 24 against Mizanur, his
wife Sohelia Anar Ratna, brother Mahbubur Rahman and nephew and Sub-Inspector
of Police Mahmudul Hasan for concealing information about wealth of Taka 3.7
crore and amassing illegal wealth of Taka 3.28 crore.
Mizanur grabbed the media attention for all the wrong reasons, as he was
first accused of harassing and torturing a woman. Later, ACC launched
investigation against him over allegations of graft.
Mizanur, later, leaked a couple audio clips, saying he has given Taka 40
lakh as bribe to ACC Director Khandaker Enamul Basir to suppress the graft
allegations brought against him.
