A case has been filed against 19 officials of Barapukuria Coal Mining Company Limited (BCMCL), including its Managing Director Habib Uddin Ahmed, who has been recently made OSD, in connection with the disappearance of 1.45 lakh tonnes coal from the mine yard.
The manager (admin) of BCMCL Mohammad
Anisur Rahman filed the case with Parbatipur Model Police Station on Tuesday night, said Habibul Haq, Officer-in-Charge of the police station.
On 23 July, the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) formed a three-member probe committee to look into the incident of “disappearance of coal” from the mine yard.
According to an ACC unofficial note, BCMCL Managing Director Habib Uddin Ahmed and others allegedly sold 1,16,000 tonnes of coal and embezzled Tk 200 crore.
Meanwhile, Managing Director Habib Uddin Ahmed, General Manager Abul Quasem Prothania, ATM Nuruzzaman Chowdhury and Deputy General Manager (Store) Khaledul Islam, who were suspended earlier, were among the accused.
Officials said the shortage of coal came to their notice a few days back when a team from Power Development Board visited the coal mine and found that there was no adequate reserve of coal in the yard of the mine.
Petrobangla top officials identified inconsistency in the coal reserve at the coal mine yard. An official investigation found that the stock had a shortage of 148,000 tonnes of coal.
Later, Petrobangla formed a three-member inquiry committee, headed by its director (Mining), Quamruzzaman, to investigate into the issue of the coal shortage and suspended a number of BCMCL officials.
