Also possesses duplex, five-storey building

Staff Correspondent
A diploma engineer of Dhaka Electric Supply Authority (Desa) resides in a palatial house on a 45-katha land worth Tk 15 crore in the city's posh Banasree area.
Majibur Rahman, a sub-divisional engineer of the Sales and Supply Department at the Satmasjid Road branch of Desa, also owns over 500 kathas of land in and outside the city and a five-storey building on a 10-katha land worthTk6crore at North Goran.
Sources alleged that Majibur has amassed wealth--land properties, assets and money--worth over Tk 100 crore through fake vouch-
ers, forgery through fake billing and illegal electricity connections.
Hailing from Homna upazila of Comilla, Majibur is one of the corruption suspects listed by the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC). The ACC gave information about him to the task force, which is investigating corruption of Desa staffers.
Sources said during his 29-year service Majibur made the huge wealth that includes the duplex building at South Banasree and the five-storey building at North Goran, a 12-katha plot at Khilgaon and 950 decimals of land in his village Homna. He also bought a large piece of land with a pond and
a garden and farmland worth over Tk 5 crore at Homna.
Besides the land properties, the Desa official has share certificates of different companies and deposits and bank balances with different banks worth several crore taka.
When contacted, however, Majibur denied his ownership of most of the land properties and said, "A few people have provided the task force with false information about my land properties Intentionally."
According to the sources, most of his properties are purchased in the name of his wife, three sons and two daughters.

Asked about his properties, Majibur said, "It is not possible to enumerate all my properties verbally because there are several pieces of land at different places.
"The task force officials called me to their office and I submitted my wealth report to them," he said, adding, "There is no complaint against me as I have always paid my taxes regularly.”
Replying to another question, Majibur said he was never involved in any corruption and illegal activities.
Desa sources said all of its about 4,500 staffers submitted their wealth statements to the task force, which has so far interrogated 250 Desa employees.
