UNB, Dhaka :
The Anti Corruption Commission (ACC) is set to submit a charge-sheet against former general manager of Bangladesh Railway (BR) (Eastern Zone) Yusuf Ali Mridha in one of the seven cases he got clean chit earlier.
The Commission at its regular meeting approved the charge-sheet against
Mrida on Tuesday and it will be submitted before court soon, ACC spokesman Pranab Kumar Bhattacharya told UNB. In 2013, the national anti-graft agency filed a number of cases against the former BR general manager and others for their alleged involvement in railway ‘recruitment trade’.
The cases were filed due to illegally hiring railway staff in different posts-senior data entry control operator, carpenter, records keeper and court inspector. Later, the ACC dropped his name from the charge-sheets in seven cases, claiming that Yusuf Ali Mridha was not directly involved in recruiting process as he had just approved all the appointments as per his routine work. But, Chittagong Metropolitan Judge Court in January 2016 sent all records of the seven cases to the Commission asking it to submit its charge-sheets before court after further investigation. As per the court directives, the national anti-graft agency re-launched probes into the graft cases filed against Mrida and others. And the ACC has finally approved charge-sheet in one of the seven cases.
