Report against DIG Mizan for amassing illegal wealth Aug 29
DHAKA, July 24, 2019 (BSS) – A Dhaka court today set August 29 for
submitting probe report in a case filed by Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC)
against suspended Deputy Inspector General (DIG) of police Mizanur Rahman for
amassing illegal wealth.
Today was set for submitting report in the case, but Dhaka Metropolitan
Session Judge KM Imrul Kayes had to reset the date as investigation officer
failed to submit the report.
The court on July 2 scrapped a bail plea of Mizanur Rahman and sent him to
jail in the case.
Earlier on July 1, police took DIG Mizanur Rahman into custody after High
Court scrapped his plea for anticipatory bail in the case.
High Court division bench comprising Justice Obaidul Hassan and Justice S M
Kuddus Zaman passed the order, asking the police officials present at the
courtroom to take Mizanur into custody immediately.
“He has tarnished the image of police completely. We have seen on TV that
he has given a desperate statement on paying bribe,” the court said at the
time.
ACC director Monjur Morshed filed the case on June 24 against Mizanur, his
wife Sohelia Anar Ratna, brother Mahbubur Rahman and nephew and police sub-
inspector Mahmudul Hasan for concealing information about wealth of Taka 3.7
crore and amassing illegal wealth of Taka 3.28 crore.
