Police SI held while taking bribe from accused

Staff Correspondent
How a corrupt policeman can harass people and compel them to bribe by misusing power came to light late Thursday night when the Anti-corruption Commission (ACC) arrested a sub-inspector (SI) of Cantonment Police Station.
ACC Deputy Director Mir Zainul Abedin Shebly said they arrested SI Moinul Ahsan, at Hotel Bonbhojan in East Nakhalpara as he was taking Tk 5,000 bribe from Mozammel Haque, a businessman of Banani in thecapital.
Mozammel alleged that his business partner Zakir Hossain filed a false case on May 27 against him and a number of others accusing them of confining him to a house and forcing him to sign a stamped paper. In the case the complainant also accused them of demandingTk 1 lakh from him.
SI Moinul, the investigation officer (IO) of the case, arrested Mozammel but he was released on bail by a Dhaka court the same day.
Later, Moinul called Mozammel to the police station and threatened to submit the charge sheet against him or implicate his 108-year-old father in the case if he did not pay him Tk 50,000. The 10 also said if Mozammel gave the bribe he would file a case against Zakir for filing the "false" case, Mozammel alleged.
"As the SI frequently demanded the bribe, Mozammel filed an application with a director of the
ACC seeking help which prompted the anti-graft body to take action," Shebly told Th e Daily Star.
The ACC asked Mozammel to agree to give the money to the SI and as per a plan Mozammel marked ten 500-taka notes.
"After changing three meeting places, Moinul finally came to Hotel Bonbhojan and took the bait and we caught him red-handed around 9:30pm," said Shebly.
He said he led a magistrate, two assistant directors of Shilpakala Academy, as impartial representatives, and a team of ACC officials during the arrest.
He also said they recovered the 10 notes and case documents from Moinul.
The ACC yesterday morning produced Moinul before a Dhaka court, which ordered him to be sent to Dhaka Central Jail.
The ACC will investigate the case and submit charge sheet of the case in a few days, ACC Deputy Director Shebly said.
Hailing from Sonaimuri of Noakhali, Moinul joined the service in 1993.
