Chandpur DC who pressed charges against education minister’s brother transferred

Deputy commissioner of Chandpur district Anjana Khan Majlish has been transferred to Netrokona, said a gazette published by Ministry of Public Administration on Thursday. The gazette also mentioned three other DCs to be transferred.

Dipu Moni's brother Chandpur district Awami League vice-president Jawadur Rahim Wadud alias Tipu and several other leaders and activists occupied more than 48 acres of land in Haimchar upazila, through fraudulent means.

A report in this connection was published in Prothom Alo on 25 March. On 26 April, a case was filed by the district administration to recover these khas lands. 25 people including Jawadur Rahim were made accused in the case.

Chandpur government prosecutor Abdur Rahman then said that the hearing date of the case has been fixed for 31 May.

Earlier, a quarter manipulated to acquire Tk 3.59 billion in the name of land acquisition for building a science and technology university in Chandpur. Prothom Alo published an investigative report on 26 January.
