ACC: DIG Mizan to face case for non-cooperation

Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) will file a case against Deputy Inspector General (DIG) of police Mizanur Rahman, if he continues to “non-cooperate” in the investigation. "DIG Mizan was supposed to submit some documents to ACC on Sunday, but he did not. If the non-cooperation continues in the investigation, then a case will be filed against him under the provisions of 19/3 of the ACC Act," ACC Secretary Shamsul Arefin told reporters on Monday. He said the ACC investigation team told Mizan to submit some necessary papers for the investigation of his wealth, allegedly accumulated through illegal means, but he did not comply. ACC sources claimed that DIG Mizan abused his position to accumulate billions in cash, lavish apartments, cars and property, and fixed deposit accounts in multiple banks. He is also accused of being involved in money laundering abroad. Incidentally, in January, a probe body had found evidence that DIG Mizan was engaged in misconduct while on duty. He was then withdrawn from his position in the DMP headquarters following allegations of abducting a young woman at gunpoint and forcing her to marry him.
