Why ex-DIG prison Bazlur Rashid’s bail won’t be scrapped: HC
The High Court Sunday issued a rule seeking explanation as to the reasons the bail of suspended Deputy Inspector General (DIG) of Prisons Bazlur Rashid shouldn't be cancelled.
The virtual bench of Justice Md. Nazrul Islam Talukder and Justice Ahmed Sohel exceeded the order after hearing an appeal filed by the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC).
Advocate Khurshid Alam stood for the ACC while Deputy Legal professional General AKM Amin Uddin Manik represented the state.
The HC fixed January 18 for hearing of the rule.
On October 29, the former DIG secured bail from a subordinate court providing fake information, according to ACC.
According to the circumstance statement, Bazlur Rashid bought an apartment coming from Rupayan Housing Estate on Siddheswari Road in the capital.
He paid Tk3.8 crore for the apartment but he cannot show any valid way to obtain the money.
Rashid also didn't show any info on the buy of the flat found in his tax documents, states the charge sheet.
Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) Deputy Director Md Salauddin filed the circumstance against him on Oct 20, 2019. Later, he was arrested the same day.
On August 26, ACC Deputy Director Nasir Uddin submiited the charge sheet against Bazlur Rashid.
