The surveyor (Kanungo), Nikhil Chandra Das, who is known as Barua among his colleagues, allegedly confessed to the forces that he owns wealth worth around Tk 10 crore, sources in the joint forces said.

A team of the joint forces raided Nikhil's rented house in Sector-11, Road no 5/C in Uttara at 10:00pm.

They searched all rooms of the house for one and a half hours and recovered 48 forged seals of top Rajuk officials including that of the Rajuk chairman, four pads, cheque books of 10 banks and five passports.

They also found documents of around 50 bighas of land that Nikhil owns at his village home at Daudkandi in Comilla.

The sources alleged that Nikhil, using the fake seals of top Rajuk officials, used to approve designs of buildings and tamper with land measurement to facilitate those who bribed him.

Nikhil was suspended around two months ago after the authorities found cases of gross irregularities and corruption against him.

The joint forces handed over the surveyor to Uttara police yesterday afternoon. Process of filing a case against him was going on as of filing of this report at 8:00pm yesterday.
