Upazila edn officer held for bribery


Upazila education officer (UEO) of Brahmanbaria Sadar upazila and his two associates were arrested yesterday by joint forces for taking bribe from a retired primary school teacher.

Sources said UEO Jamal Uddin, his office assistant Ali Akkas and peon Sagir Ahmed had long been demanding Tk 4000 in bribe from retired primary school teacher Shahidul Huq.

As Huq refused to comply with the demand, the three had been giving him the runaround for approving his pension fund.

A team of joint forces caught the three at around 10:00am in the act of receiving Tk 4,000 in bribe from Huq.
