ACC likely to sue Bachhir, Mizan

Staff Correspondent: Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) is going to file a case against its Director Khandaker Enamul Bachhir and Deputy Inspector General of Police (DIG) Mizanur Rahman  in connection with an bribery allegation.

An ACC team has already finalised all documents and can file a case this week, sources in the ACC said.

ACC Director Khandaker Enamul Bachhir has been temporarily suspended for leaking confidential information contained in a probe report to DIG Mizanur Rahman, who is accused of amassing illegal wealth.

DIG Mizanur Rahman alleged to the media that Enamul Bachir had accepted Tk. 40 lakh from him in two phases in exchange of information.

The commission initiated a probe into the wealth accumulated by Mizanur Rahman after he was relieved of duties last year for allegedly torturing a woman. Enamul Bachir was a member of the ACC probe team that investigated the DIG’s wealth.

Soon after raising the bribery allegation, the commission formed a three-member probe committee, led by its secretary Md Delwar Bakth, to investigate the matter.
