ARREST-MIZAN-BRIBERY
DIG Mizan shown arrested in another graft case
DHAKA, July 21, 2019 (BSS) – A Dhaka court today shown suspended Deputy
Inspector General (DIG) of police Mizanur Rahman arrested in a case filed
over giving Taka 40 lakh as bribe to an ACC official.
Dhaka Metropolitan Session Judge KM Imrul Qayes passed the order,
allowing a plea of investigation officer and Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC)
director Sheikh Md Fanafilla.
Earlier, the ACC director on July 16 filed the case against Mizanur and
fellow ACC director Khandaker Enamul Basir.
Basir and Mizanur both were suspended from their concerned agencies
after the allegations of offering and taking bribe against them were found.
Mizanur leaked a couple of 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. Basir however, dismissed the allegations,
saying Mizanur made those audio clips through the help of technology and
supplied those to a TV channel.
A Dhaka court on July 2 scrapped a bail plea of Mizanur Rahman and sent
him to jail in a graft case.
Earlier on July 1, police took DIG Mizanur Rahman into custody after
High Court scrapped his plea for anticipatory bail in the case.
The disgraced senior police official on June 30 filed the plea seeking
anticipatory bail in a case lodged over amassing illegal wealth.
