Ctg mayor relieved of graft charges
A court here yesterday exempted Chittagong City Mayor ABM Mohiuddin Chowdhury from the charges in one corruption case and framed charges against him in another.
The Divisional Special Court framed charges against the CCC mayor in a graft case filed by the now-defunct Bureau of Anti-Corruption on April 9, 2001.
In the case, Bac accused the mayor and two others of embezzling Tk 11 lakh sanctioned as fare for garbage carrying trucks.
Judge SM Solaiman fixed October 30 for hearing of the case.
The court however exempted the mayor from the charges brought in another graft case filed by the Bac.
The case was filed on July 9, 2001 accusing the mayor of embezzling Tk 2.44 lakh from the fund allocated for earth filling work of a CCC graveyard near Pahartali Eye Hospital.
