Suspended DIG Mizan, ACC director Enamul Basir indicted

A Dhaka court on Wednesday framed charges against suspended deputy inspector general (DIG) Mizanur Rahman and suspended ACC director Khandaker Enamul Basir in a case filed over the Tk 4 million bribery scandal, reports UNB.

Judge Shaikh Nazmul Alam of special judge court-4 indicted them and fixed 23 March for the formal trial to begin with the deposition of witnesses.

On 16 July last year, director of the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) Sheikh Mohammad Fanafillah filed the case over the bribery scandal.

A private TV channel had reported that Mizan gave Tk 4 million to Basir to get clean chit in a corruption case.

DIG Mizan was an additional commissioner of Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP). He was withdrawn on 9 January, last year following the allegation of threatening a female news presenter of a private television channel.

He had also reportedly married a woman forcibly and tortured her. Mizan allegedly picked the 25-year-old woman up in July, 2017 and then forcibly married her.

He had also implicated her in a false case whereby she was arrested and remained in jail for three weeks.
