Ruling party lawmaker Kabirul Haque and businessman Abidul Islam Tuesday gave written statements to the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) against former detective branch deputy commissioner Mollah Nazrul Islam, who is facing allegations of taking Tk10m bribe, an ACC official said.
ACC Deputy Director Nasim Anwar questioned the two, who brought the allegations, after they submitted statements to the commission for consideration, the official said.
The ACC in July formed a body to investigate the allegations. It will summon the police officer soon, the official said.
Nazrul Islam allegedly extorted Tk10m from Abidul Islam after threatening to kill him in “crossfire”.
Nazrul was transferred to the protection and protocol division of the Dhaka Metropolitan Police after the bribery allegations against him surfaced.
Later, Kabirul Haque, a relative of the victim, filed complaints with the home ministry and police headquarters against Nazrul Islam. He is an Awami League parliamentary member from Narail.
