Suspended Deputy Inspector General (DIG) of police Mizanur Rahman has moved the High Court for anticipatory bail over a graft case.
The bail petition was filed with the bench of Justice Obaidul Hassan and Justice SM Kuddus Zaman on Sunday (Jun 30), confirmed Anti Corruption Commission (ACC) counsel Md Khurshid Alam Khan.
On Jun 24, the graft watchdog sued Mizan and his family, accusing them of amassing illegal wealth.
He has also been summoned to the ACC headquarters on to answer queries on the allegation of bribing suspended ACC director Enamul Basir.
ACC Director Manjur Morshed filed the case with the ACC’s coordinated district office Dhaka-1.
On Jun 20, the court granted an ACC plea to freeze Mizan’s assets worth nearly 34-and-half million and a City Bank account with Tk 1 million balance.
The ACC initiated a probe into the wealth of Mizan after he was withdrawn as additional commissioner of Dhaka Metropolitan Police following a marital scandal in January last year and attached with the headquarters.
