Court Correspondent :
The investigation Officer (IO) and Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) Director Sheikh Mohammad Fanafilya yesterday testified in the graft case against suspended Deputy Inspector General of Police Mizanur Rahman and suspended ACC Director Khandaker Enamul Basir, as the first witness.
The IO on Wednesday testified at Dhaka Special Judge Court-4. Later, Judge Sheikh Nazmul Alam adjourned the hearing till 2 September as the defence failed to complete cross-examining the first witness. The same court on 18 March framed charges in the case against the two accused.
The court of Dhaka Metropolitan Sessions Judge KM Imrul Qayes on 9 February accepted the charge sheet and transferred the case for further proceedings to Dhaka Special Judge Court-4.
Mizanur Rahman reportedly leaked a couple of audio clips, saying he gave Tk four million as bribe to Khandaker Enamul Basir to suppress the graft allegations brought against him.
ACC Director Sheikh Mohammad Fanafilya on January 19 filed the charge sheet of the case against Mizanur Rahman and Khandaker Enamul Basir for allegedly leaking information and taking bribes.
The anti-graft body (ACC) on July 16, last year, filed the case with its Dhaka District Coordination Office-1 under the Money Laundering Prevention Act.
