Acting on a tip-off, a team of the joint forces raided the office room of UNO Rezaul Kabir at around 12:30pm and recovered Tk 49.5 thousand from his possession.

Police said the UNO took the money in bribe from the project director of Bhaluka Megha Fishery Project for solving some problems of the project.

The arrested UNO was later handed over to Bhaluka Police Station.
