Suspended DIG Mizan denied bail
A Dhaka court yesterday rejected the bail petitions of suspended deputy inspector general (DIG) of police Mizanur Rahman in connection with two corruption cases file by the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC).
Judge KM Emrul Kayesh of Senior Special Judge’s Court in Dhaka passed the order, after Mizan’s lawyer Ehsanul Haque Samaji moved the petitions to the court, seeking bail in the cases.
The court also denied bail to suspended ACC director Khandaker Enamul Basir.
On June 24 last year, ACC filed the graft case with its Integrated District Office in Dhaka against Mizan, his wife Sohelia Anar Ratna and nephew Mahmudul Hasan, a sub-inspector of police, on charges of amassing Tk 3.28 crore beyond known source of income.
The High Court on July 1 last year handed Mizan over to police after he surrendered before it seeking bail in the case.
On July 16 last year, ACC filed another graft case against him and suspended ACC director Khandaker Enamul Basir, for a transaction of Tk 40 lakh as bribe.
Mizan was withdrawn on January 9, 2018 following allegations of threatening a female news presenter of a private television channel. He reportedly picked up a 25-year-old woman in July, 2017 and forcibly married her.
