Metropolitan sessions judge M Azizul Haque issued the warrants after accepting the charge-sheet filed by the Anti-Corruption Commission with his court. The judge also asked the police to report the court by June 4 on the execution of the orders.
The six serving bureaucrats against whom the warrants have been issued are the Bureau of Manpower’s labour and training director Azizul Rahman, the Power Division’s joint secretary ASM Mesbahul Islam, its deputy secretaries Abdullah Masud, Laila Jesmin and Ismat Ara Jahan, and its former assistant secretary Ali Hossain, now posted at the liberation war affairs ministry.
The seven DESCO officials against whom warrants have been issued are its managing director Saleh Ahmed, secretary AHM Nurul Huda, former chairman and Summit Group’s managing director Towhidul Islam, the Power Division’s administrative officer Chanchal Krishna Talukdar and its board members Manzur Rahman, Kudrat-e-Elahi and Mansuz Rahman.
Two others — former deputy energy secretary Zahidur Rahman and DESCO’s former director Khan Lodi Saiful Haque who have been implicated in the case — have also been issued arrest warrants.
The Anti-Corruption Commission on May 29 submitted charge-sheets against detained former power secretary ANH Akhtar Hossain and 15 others for causing a loss of Tk 10,20,00,891 to the state exchequer by distributing shares of Dhaka Electric Supply Company to the officials and employees of the Power Division from the reserved shares of the company’s officials and employees.
