Dhaka, Mar 26 (Just News): The government yesterday suspended Sub-Registrar Ehsak Ali Mondal for corruption and bribery while discharging duties at his office in Narayanganj on March 22.
Ehsak Ali Mondal, acting sub-registrar at Bandar sub registry office in Narayanganj's Araihazar area, was video filmed accepting cash from people for registering deeds in his office on March 22. The video went viral when posted online.
The directorate of registration suspended Ehsak yesterday and also issued a notice asking him to show causes within seven days as to why he should not be dismissed from service or why he should not be handed further punishment through filing of a departmental case against him.
Inspector General of Registration (IGR) Khan Md Abdul Mannan signed the suspension letter saying that Ehsak Ali Mondal has been suspended for misconduct and corruption in administrative and public interest.
In the letter IGR Mannan said it has been seen on the video that Ehsak was accepting bribe before signing a file and a person was forwarding files to him. There was a pile of files on the table but he (Ehsak) was putting the money he accepted into the drawer of his table along with the files he had accepted in this way. He was also seen putting the accepted money into his trouser pockets after signing the files.
IGR Mannan said in the suspension letter said that this video film was a clear proof of Sub Registrar Ehsak Ali Mondal accepting bribes for registering deeds. Ehsak is accused of misconduct and corruption under Governent Servants (Disciplines and Appeal) Rules, 1985.
