REPORT-GRAFT-COUNCILOR-RAJIB
Probe report against former ward councilor Rajib April 2
DHAKA, March 12, 2020 (BSS) – A Dhaka court today set April 2 for
submitting probe report in graft case against former councilor of Ward-33 of
Dhaka North City Corporation (DNCC) Tarekuzzaman Rajib.
Dhaka Metropolitan Sessions Judge KM Imrul Qayes passed the order as
investigation agency Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) failed to submit the
report today.
Members of Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) arrested Rajib from a flat in
Basundhara Residential Area on October 19, 2019. The elite crime busting
agency seized seven bottles of foreign liquor, a foreign-made pistol, a
magazine with three bullets, Taka 33 thousand in cash and a passport from
that flat.
RAB later searched his Mohammadpur house and office but could not trace
anything except a cheque of Taka five crore. They suspect that Rajib managed
to shift all things which can relate him to his notorious activities.
ACC assistant director Mamunur Rashid Chowdhury filed the graft case
against Rajib for amassing illegal wealth of Taka 26.16 crore.
