Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) President Nazmul Hassan Papon said that his Board would not spare its two directors, Lokman Hossain Bhuiyan and Mahbub Anam, if the charges brought against them are found to be authentic.
Papon said at a city event on Friday. “If anyone is involved with crime, he should be punished. There is no reason to differ with it.
BCB Director and Facilities Committee Chairman Lokman Hossain Bhuiyan is also the Mohammedan Sporting Club’s Director-in-Charge. He was arrested on Thursday by RAB-2 for unlawful possession of
alcohol, four days after busting illegal casino operations at the club.
Before he was arrested, The Anti-Corruption Commission or ACC has asked another BCB Director Mahbubul Anam to submit his wealth statement after allegations of amassing illegal wealth were levelled against him.
“As I said earlier, the allegations against Lokman and Mahbub Anam are yet to be proved. It is in the process. If allegation against them is proved, the board will make the comment and take the necessary steps,” Papon said.
It is very early to say anything from our perspective. ACC can ask anybody to submit his wealth statement. Lokman Bhuiyan is alleged to rent the club for gambling. If he has any involvement in the casino, he should be punished,” the BCB president opined.
“But so far steps taken by our honourable Prime Minister takes is excellent and exemplary. I believe we all should stand unanimously behind her. The BCB always supports what Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina does.”
The BCB President, however, thanked Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina to take this bold step, saying that the board also follows the zero-tolerance policy in line with the Prime Minister’s vision.
