Dhaka, Sep 1 (UNB) – Suspended director of the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) Khandaker Enamul Basir on Sunday filed a petition with the High Court seeking bail in a bribery case.
His lawyer MM Jamal Hossain, who submitted the petition on behalf of Enamul to the concerned division of the High Court, said a bench of Justice Farid Ahmed and Justice ASM Abdul Mobin would hear the petition on Tuesday.
Earlier, a Dhaka court sent Enamul Basir to jail on July 23 in a case that accuses him of accepting Tk 40 lakh as bribe.
A private TV channel brought the incident into the forefront by broadcasting a report that shows police’s Deputy Inspector General Mizanur Rahman gave Tk 40 lakh to Enamul to get a clean chit in a corruption case.
He was suspended on June 10 for allegedly leaking information, a breach of his job discipline.
