Enamul Bachhir arrested

Staff Correspondent:  Suspended Director of Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) Khandaker Enamul Bachhir has been arrested.

A team led by ACC Director Sheikh Md. Fanafilya arrested him from Mirpur Darus Salam area around 10.30 pm on Monday in a case in connection to take a sum Tk 40 lakh as bribe. Later, he was taken to Ramna Police Station.

On July 16, ACC Director Sheikh Md. Fanafilya filed a case against suspended DIG Mizanur Rahman and suspended ACC Director Khandaker Enamul Bachir in Dhaka's CMM court-1 on charge of bribe transactions.

DIG Mijan is now in the jail in the case.

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 another three-member probe committee, led by its secretary Md Delwar Bakth, to investigate the matter. The probe body found evidence of the allegation.
