A Dhaka court on Thursday fixed February 23 to pronounce judgment in a bribery case against suspended Deputy Inspector General Mizanur Rahman and suspended ACC director Khandaker Enamul Basir.
Dhaka Special Judge Court-4 Judge Sheikh Nazmul Alam fixed the date.
On January 3, the two claimed them innocent while giving their statement in self- defence at the court.
On January 24, Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) lawyer Mosharraf Hossain Kajol presented his arguments and demanded capital punishment for the accused.
DIG Mizan was an additional commissioner of Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP). He was withdrawn on January 9, 2019 following the allegation of threatening a female news presenter of a private television channel.
He had also reportedly married a woman forcibly and tortured her. Mizan allegedly picked the 25-year-old woman up in July, 2017 and then forcibly married her.
He had also implicated her in a false case whereby she was arrested and remained in jail for three weeks.
Earlier on June 24,2019 ACC director Manjur Morshed filed the case against DIG Mizan, his wife Sohelia Anar Ratna, nephew sub-inspector Mahmudul Hasan and younger brother Mahbubur Rahman.
