Surveyor remanded for two days with Tk 1 lakh bribe

Observer Online Report

A Dhaka court on Monday granted a two-day remand for surveyor Md Asadul Islam, who was arrested with Tk 1 lakh in alleged bribe money at the Assistant Commissioner's (Land) office of Lalbagh Revenue Circle.

Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Jewel Rana passed the order after a hearing on a three-day remand petition filed by Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) Assistant Director Hafizur Rahman, the investigation officer in the case.

According to the ACC, Asadul allegedly demanded Tk 80 lakh from retired soldier Md Monirul Islam for demarcating 282 decimals of land in Chor Kamrangi mouza, Lalbagh, separating government land from privately owned property and preparing a map.

Monirul had applied to the Dhaka Deputy Commissioner's office for the work on April 27. After waiting nearly six months without any progress, he contacted the ACC over the alleged bribe demand.

Following a preliminary inquiry, an ACC team conducted a trap operation last Tuesday. Monirul allegedly handed Tk 1 lakh to Asadul at his office, after which ACC officials arrested him red-handed and recovered the money from a side table. The serial numbers of the recovered notes matched those previously supplied by the complainant.

The ACC also claimed that Asadul admitted to receiving the money during questioning.

ACC Assistant Director Md Mahbub Morshed filed the case against him under Section 161 of the Penal Code and Section 5(2) of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1947.

The ACC sought remand to determine whether others were involved in the alleged bribery and gather further information about the incident.
