Charge sheet has been submitted at court against former deputy inspector general (DIG) of police Mizanur Rahman and suspended Anti Corruption Commission (ACC) director Khandaker Enamul Basir for their alleged involvement in the exchange of Tk 4 million in bribes.

The charge sheet was submitted on Sunday (Jan 19) at the court of Dhaka Senior Special Judge, KM Imrul Kayes by ACC director Sheikh Fanafillah.

Later, the judge signed the charge sheet with the comment ‘seen’ and the hearing was fixed for Feb 9 next.

Earlier on Jul 16, 2019, ACC Director Sheikh Md Fanafillah filed the case and also worked on the case as the investigative officer.

On Sunday (Jul 21), DIG Mizanur, who was sent to jail by the High Court earlier, was shown arrested in the case.

Disgraced police officer Mizanur in a television interview, claimed that ACC official Basir took Tk 4 million in bribes from him, promising that he would be given a clean chit.

Basir also divulged probe details during the investigation, according to ACC officials.

Audio clips of mobile conversations between DIG Mizan and Basir were aired on television.

Basir refuted the allegations and said that the DIG had supplied a forged clip to a television channel, using an imitation of his voice.

Basir was removed from his office and replaced by another ACC director, Md Monzur Morshed after the allegations surfaced.

Both Mizanur and Basir were subsequently suspended by their respective institutions.
