RAJSHAHI, Oct 19, 2020 (BSS) – A trial court today sent a college principal
to jail on corruption charges.
District and Session Judge Meer Shafiqul Islam has passed the order of
sending Abdur Rahman, Principal of Godagari Government College, to jail when
he appeared in the court.
Last year, Umrul Haque, Vice-principal of the college, had lodged a
corruption case against the principal with the court. After taking the case
into cognizance the court gave responsibility to the integrated district
office of Anti Corruption Commission for investigation.
Alamgir Hossain, Assistant Director of the ACC’s Integrated District
Office, investigated the case.
The investigation report revealed that principal Abdur Rahman
misappropriated Taka 72,42,730 from the college fund.
Jahangir Alam said he has submitted a charge-sheet to the court accusing
the principal earlier. But he remained absconding for long. When he appeared
seeking bail the court sent him to jail after rejecting his bail prayer on
Monday.
