Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) has arrested a shipping ministry employee for taking bribe.
Mirza Saifur Rahman, ship surveyor officer of the ministry's Department of Shipping, was caught red-handed on Monday (Sept 2).
“He was caught while taking Tk 20,000 as bribe from a shipowner in the capital Motijheel area around 11:30am,” said ACC’s Director Akter Hossain.
Rahman promised the owners to clear the ship's survey and fitness test upon taking the bribe.
The graft watchdog was processing legal action against him, the ACC official said.
