The anti-corruption task force team arrested a retired government official at his house at Lalmatia in Dhaka on Thursday in connection with the Niko corruption case.

The task force personnel arrested Khondokar Shahidul Islam, then acting secretary to the energy ministry, at about 8:00pm. He was detained at the Dhanmondi police station.

Shahidul was accused in the case along with the BNP chairperson, Khaleda Zia, also a former prime minister, former law minister Moudud Ahmed and former state minister for energy AKM Mosharraf Hossain, and Niko’s South Asia vice-president Quasem Sharif.

They were sued for causing a loss of Tk 10,000 crore to the state exchequer by signing contracts with the Niko Resources Limited.

The Anti-Corruption Commission’s assistant director Mahbubul Alam lodged the case with the Tejgaon police on December 9, 2007.
