The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) on Monday pleaded for the highest penalty for suspended deputy inspector general (DIG) of police Mizanur Rahman and suspended director of the anti-graft body Khandaker Enamul Basir in a graft case.
ACC counsel Advocate Mosharraf Hossain Kazal made the plea in his closing arguments in the case at Dhaka Special Judge Court-4.
After the end of the ACC arguments, the defence pleaded for time. Allowing the defence, Judge Sheikh Nazmul Alam adjourned the hearing till February 3. “We believe we have been able to prove all the charges framed against the accused, beyond any reasonable ground. They have already given confessional statements in the case. We are expecting the highest penalty for them,” Advocate Kazal told BSS.
The accused on January 3 had pleaded not guilty in their statements in self-defense in the case. The court on March 18, 2020, framed charges against the two accused in the case.
