Mohasin Ali, an office assistant at the Attorney General's Office, has been suspended on the charge of demanding bribes from a lawyer.
Legal action will be taken against him, said a written order issued by the office on Wednesday.
Deputy Attorney General Amin Uddin Manik said Mohasin demanded money from a lawyer in return for helping him with a case.
Later, the lawyer submitted the voice call recording of Mohasin's conversation with him to the attorney general and asked for legal action against him.
