ACC to interrogate DIG Mizan at jail gate on July 15

DHAKA, July 10, 2019 (BSS) – A Dhaka court today allowed Anti-Corruption
Commission (ACC) to interrogate suspended Deputy Inspector General (DIG) of
police Mizanur Rahman at jail gate on July 15 over allegations of paying
bribe to ACC director Khandaker Enamul Basir.

ACC director and head of the team that is probing the allegations,
Sheikh Md Fanafillah today submit a plea, saying his team in their primary
investigation found the allegations of exchanging bribe true and they need to
interrogate the suspended DIG for the sake of proper investigation.

Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate KM Imrul Qayes then passed the order
allowing the plea of ACC director. The court also ordered to send a copy of
today’s order to the superintendant of Keraniganj Central Prison, where DIG
Mizan has been kept.

Another court on July 2 scrapped a bail plea of Mizanur Rahman and sent
him to jail in a graft case. Dhaka Metropolitan Session Judge KM Imrul Kayes
passed the order on that day.

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.

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.

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.

Mizanur grabbed the media attention for all the wrong reasons, as he was
first accused of harassing and torturing a woman. ACC later launched
investigation against him over allegations of graft.

Mizanur later leaked a couple of audio clips, saying he has given Taka
forty lakh as bribe to ACC director Khandaker Enamul Basir to suppress the
graft allegations brought against him.
