Chattogram Metropolitan Police (CMP) has written to the police headquarters in Dhaka recommending suspension of Additional Deputy Commissioner (ADC-Crime) Mohammad Kamrul Hasan after an internal police probe confirmed his involvement in graft.
The recommendation of the suspension followed a court order confiscating his and his wifes wealth worth Tk 11 core earlier.
Abdul Mannan Mia, additional police commissioner (crime and operations) of the CMP, confirmed the matter on Thursday night, saying that the internal probe body quizzed ADC Kamrul and others about the alleged graft and sent the results of the probe body including recommendation of the suspension of the ADC Kamrul to the police headquarters," he said.
Accused Kamrul is now attached with the Public Order Management Division of the CMP and earlier he was posted at the prison (prosecution) of the Chattogram Metropolitan Court.
Along with Kamrul, the CMP recommended taking punitive actions against the then prisons inspector Atiqur Rahman, he said.
According to the probe report Kamrul during his tenure in charge of the hajatkhana of metro court, about Tk 13.31 lakh was withdrawn from the government treasury from 2021 to June 2023 as food bills for the detainees in the custody of the metro court through corruption.
On July 9, a Chattogram court ordered the seizure of assets worth over Tk 11 crore of ADC Kamrul and his wife Saima Begum.
The court ordered the confiscation of assets worth Tk 11,34,35,919 crore which was acquired allegedly beyond the couples known sources of income. —UNB
