Dhaka Metropolitan Sessions Judge KM Imrul Qayes accepted the charge sheet in presence of the accused and transferred the case for further proceedings to Dhaka Special Judge Court-4.

The court also set Apr 4 for holding hearing on charge framing.

ACC Director Sheikh Mohammad Fanafilya on Jan 19 filed the charge sheet against the duo for allegedly leaking information and taking bribe.

The anti-graft body on Jul 16, 2019, filed the case with its Dhaka district coordination office-1 under the Money Laundering Prevention Act.

Both the officials were suspended from their respected agencies after the allegations of taking and giving bribes were lodged against them.

Mizanur leaked a couple audio clips, saying he has given Tk 5 million as bribe to Khandaker Enamul Basir to suppress the graft allegations brought against him.
