Police arrested a 4th class employee of Sadar Sub-registry office, who reportedly made huge wealth illegally, from the district town early Friday.
The arrested was identified as Yasin Mia, a peon of the office.
Muhammad Selim Uddin, officer-in-charge of Sadar Model Police Station, said police arrested Yasin in the early hours.
On November 29, Md Mostafizur Rahman, Sadar upazila sub-registrar, filed a general diary after Yasin had gone missing. There was an allegation against him of embezzling money by making fake bank invoices.
He used to misappropriate money without depositing it in the designated bank account through making fake bank invoices.
Locals said Yasin has three houses in the district town among other assets.
After the matter came to light, Yasin had gone into hiding.
