Suspended director of the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) Khandaker Enamul Basir on Sunday filed a bail petition with the High Court in a case filed over the transaction of Tk 4.0 million as bribe.
The petition may be heard on Tuesday at the HC bench of Justice Farid Ahmed and Justice A S M Abdul Mobin, said Advocate Khurshid Alam Khan, a lawyer for the ACC.
In the bail petition, Enamul Basir claimed that he was absolutely innocent and had not committed any offence as alleged by the prosecution.
Earlier, on July 23, a Special Court of Dhaka rejected his bail petition. At this Basir filed bail petition with the HC through his
lawyer Advocate M M Jamal Hossain. Enamul Basir, temporarily suspended by the Commission earlier, was arrested by an ACC team led by its Director Sheikh Md Fanafillah from the city’s Darussalam area on July 22.
ACC produced Enamul Basir to the Senior Special Judge’s Court in Dhaka where Judge K M Emrul Kayesh rejected his appeal for bail and ordered to send him in jail.
The ACC official was accused in a case for receiving bribe of Tk four million from suspended Deputy Inspector General (DIG) of Police Mizanur Rahman.
Earlier on July 16, Md Fanafillah filed the case against the two government officials with the ACC’s Dhaka District Coordination Office-1. DIG Mizan was shown arrested in the same case on July 21.
