Ex-VC, four officials charge-sheeted
Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) yesterday handed over a charge sheet to a court inspector against former vice-chancellor and four officials of Begum Rokeya University in Rangpur (BRUR), on charge of misappropriation of funds and misuse of power.
The court inspector will submit the charge sheet to the court concerned.
The accused are former vice-chancellor Prof Dr Abdul Jalil Mia, Assistant Registrar Shahjahan Ali, Deputy Director (planning and development) ATM Golam Firoz, Assistant Director (finance and accounts) Khandakar Ashraful Alam and Assistant Registrar Morshed Ul Alam Rony.
Dr Jalil now teaches at Rajshahi University while Shahjahan Ali is on bail.
A prayer is pending with a Rangpur court for confiscation of the properties of three others, said Court Inspector Monoj Kumar Joy.
Rangpur ACC official Akbar Ali placed the charge sheet before the court inspector, naming 21 people as witnesses.
Public Prosecutor Abdul Maleq said Dr Jalil appointed 273 people during 2011and 2012 without any approval of the University Grants Commission (UGC). Their salaries are being paid from the development fund of the university, Maleq added.
ACC Assistant Director Abdul Karim filed a case against Dr Jalil with Kotwali Police Station on December 12 in 2013, accusing him of misuse of power, misappropriation of university development funds and hiring people without UGC's permission.
The court inspector said the case would be transferred to Rangpur District and Sessions Judge's Court.
