Dhaka, May 3 (Just News): Deputy Inspector General Mizanur Rahman today claimed that he has no illegal property.
“I have mentioned details of my wealth in tax file. I have no property out of it,” he told reporters this afternoon after emerging from Anti-Corruption Commission office where he was interrogated by the anti-graft body.
ACC Deputy Director Farid Ahmed Patwary interrogated Mizanur at the commission’s Segunbagicha office in Dhaka for around seven hours from at 9:00 am over the allegation of amassing wealth illegally and other corruption allegations.
Mizanur, however, did not make any comment over the other corruption allegations brought against him.
Replying to a query about the death threat on a female news presenter of a private television channel, Mizanur said, “I am sorry.”
Responding to another question that he allegedly married a 25-year-old girl forcibly on July 15 last year, the police officer said the home ministry is investigating it. “Now, I don’t want to say anything in this regard.”
In a letter sent to the Inspector General of Police (IGP) on April 25, the anti-graft watchdog asked DIG Mizan to appear at its office today.
Mizan was withdrawn as the Additional Commissioner of Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) and attached to the Police Headquarters on January 10.
Mizan allegedly picked up 25-year-old Moriam Akter Eko from in front of her Panthapath house on July 15 last year and then forcibly married her, according to a statement of Moriam's mother Queen Talukdar.
Besides, the same police official's name surfaced in the media for allegedly picking up a female news presenter of a private television channel at gunpoint in December last year.
