Suspended DIG Mizanur Rahman being taken to a Dhaka court that sent him to jail on Tuesday — FE photo A Dhaka court has sent disgraced police officer Mizanur Rahman to jail after turning down his bail appeal in a graft case filed by the anti-corruption agency, reports bdnews24.com.
Judge KM Imrul Kayes passed the order after the police produced him before the court on Tuesday, a day after the High Court handed him over to the police.
The HC also ordered the Dhaka Metropolitan Police to produce Mizan, the suspended deputy inspector general of police, before the court within 24 hours. Later, the police officer was taken to Shahbagh thana.
On Jun 24, Manjur Morshed, a director of the Anti-Corruption Commission, filed a case against him, his wife, brother and nephew accusing them of amassing illegal wealth.
The ACC found evidence of his illegal assets worth over Tk 30.7 million. DIG Mizanur in a television interview had claimed that ACC Director Khandaker Enamul Basir took bribes from him promising that he would be given a clean chit.
