Bribe Allegation: ACC official Enamul arrested
A suspended director of the Anti-Corruption Commission was arrested last night on charges of bribery.
Khandaker Enamul Basir was arrested in the capital’s Mirpur by a team of ACC officials led by Director Sheikh Fanafillah.
He was accused in a case of taking Tk 40 lakh in bribes from suspended police DIG Mizanur Rahman, said ACC Public Relations Officer Pranab Kumar Bhattacharya.
On July 16, ACC Director Fanafillah filed the case with the ACC’s Dha-ka District Coordination Office-1 under the anti-money laundering act.
Basir would be produced before a court today.
Following a TV news report, in which DIG Mizan alleged that Basir took the bribe from him for clearing him of a graft allegation, the ACC formed a three-member investigation committee headed by Fanafilya and sus-pended Basir.
In May last year, the ACC launched an enquiry into the wealth of Mizan of Dhaka Metropolitan Police.
The ACC had tasked Basir with the enquiry.
Mizan was arrested earlier.
