violating the Official Secrets Act, Bac officials said.
Well-placed sources, however, said Shahidul would also be charged with violating the act and included as another accused in the case filed against Islam.
Bac officials received an instruction from the government high-ups at 1:00am yesterday to stand ready for a raid on the Biam DG's office, the sources said.
The Bac team took a team of Ramna police, a magistrate and a Biam director with it and raided Shahidul's office.
The joint team, prior to the raid, took all the keys of the Biam complex to its custody.
After an over-an-hour search, the team found several CDs, including two with files containing all the orders and directives of Prime Minister Khaleda Zia in the last two and a half years, in his office.
The Bac team left the Biam complex at around 4:30am after making an inventory.
Files with the prime ministerial orders and directives were in the
12 CDs seized from Nurul Islam's office, Bac sources claimed.
Islam was forced to retire on June 3 for allegedly leaking information from the Prime Minister's Office (PMO) and was replaced by Acting Education Secretary Khandakar Shahidul Islam the same day. Bac, on June 7, sued Islam, Dinarul Islam, private secretary to prime minister's private secretary, Syed Nurul Islam, computer operator, and Mohammad Selim, data entry operator.
The case was probably Bac's first under the 80-year-old act, sources said.
Sources at the PMO said the draft charge-sheet in the case has been sent to the PMO a few days ago for approval. But the PMO did not send it back to Bac after finding that it lacks strong evidence to prove the charge.
The PMO will soon send it to Bac with some queries and the charge-sheet will be submitted later.
