Court bench clerk. Haroon Aur Rashid, citing the statement of the case, said that in 1995-96 a compensation of 45 lakh was paid to municipal authorities for the repair of the road damaged during the installation of the T&T underground cable in the then municipal city of Barisal. But without calling a tender and without doing road works, the defendant embezzled Tk 39.50 lakh through four checks made out to a contractor named Hi Young. In fact, the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) found no existence of that contracting organization.
In this incident, on October 11, 2010, the Deputy Director of the District Anti-Corruption Commission. Abdul Baset filed a case against the five at the Barisal Kotwali model police station. Following the investigation of the allegations, a charge sheet was filed in court on July 19, 2011, indicting five persons, including Ahsan Habib Kamal. Subsequently, the judge delivered the verdict after taking the testimony of 22 out of 26 people in the Special Divisional Court. After the verdict was announced, the convicts were taken to the Barisal Central Jail last night.
Former mayor Mohsin Montu’s lawyer said they would appeal the verdict to the higher court.
