‘Defamatory remarks’ against Taposh: 2 cases filed against Khokon
Two separate cases were filed against former Dhaka South City Corporation mayor Sayeed Khokon for making "defamatory remarks" against the current mayor Sheikh Fazle Noor Taposh.
Advocate Sarwar Alam filed one of the cases with the Court of Metropolitan Magistrate Rajesh Chowdhury around 2:30pm today, our court correspondent reports quoting Ripon Mia, a peon of the court.
Another case was filed by one Kazi Anisur Rahman with the same court around noon today. The court will pass an order later in the day.
At a human chain in front of the High Court on Saturday, Khokon said Taposh's handling of DSCC funds was a violation of the local government act.
Khokon also said Taposh was receiving crores in profit from the DSCC money by investing in different organisations while different development projects were stalled amid fund shortage.
