DHAKA, June 26, 2018 (BSS) – The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) today
arrested a field officer Md Zahidur Rahman of Dhaka Water Supply and Sewerage
Authority (DWASA) with bribe money of Taka two lakh from his Uttara office in
the capital.
“A special team of the commission after conducting a trap case arrested a
field officer of Dhaka WASA and seized bribe money of Taka two lakh from his
possession at his office at Uttara around 3:30pm today,” deputy director
(public relations) Pranab Kumar Bhattacharjee told BSS today.
The arrestee has demanded Taka 5 lakh as bribe from manager of a company,
Gold Coast International Limited for regularizing the bill of a deep tube
well which was installed on the mill premises in 2015, he also said.
The Dhaka WASA official has threatened to disconnect line of the tube well
as the manager denied to give him the money and later the bribe was decided
at Taka two lakh, he said, adding that following the allegation ACC formed a
team to conduct a trap case to capture the official red handed with the bribe
money.
ACC’s Assistant Director Md Monirul Islam filed a case against the
arrestee with Uttara Purba Police Station to this end.
