Land given as bribe to get a job

Managing committee uses PM's name

Staff Correspondent, Rajshahi
Some local Awami League men allegedly had a plot registered in Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's name and tookTk 20 lakh as bribes for recruiting four schoolteachers in Bagmara upazila three yearsago.
An investigation by the Directorate ot Secondary and Higher Education in June found that president of Mohonganj High School management committee Insan Ali and its members Mozammel Haque, Abu Salek and Joynal Abedin were involved in the recruitment process.
Insan is an adviser to Ganipur union AL, Mozammel a ward AL president and Joynal an activist of the party.
Sultana Parveen (Botany), Nasir Uddin (Social science) and Sheuli Rani (Kabyo Tirtha) had landed the jobs at the school in 2011 on forged certificates of Non-Government Teachers’ Registration and Certification Authority, said SM Tuhinur Alam, ADC (education) ofRajshahi.
The other recruit is assistant librarian Rashida Khatun. Instructed by the deputy commissioner of Rajshahi, Tuhinur yesterday opened an investigation into the registration of the plot and alleged bribery.
Lutfor Rahman, assistant headmaster of the school at Ganipur union, complained that the management committee members took Tk 20 lakh and the piece of land from the four jobseekers.
The one decimal plot near the school was donated by Abdul Karim and Kohinur Mirdha of the area for appointing Sultana Parveen to the school. The PM's name was used to establish the AL leaders' control over the plot, he added.
Contacted, Insan Ali said local AL leaders purchased the plot at Tk 50,000 which will be used for setting up a party office. Mozammel Haque signed the land registration documents, he added.
Asked why the PM's name was used, Insan, a lawyer in Rajshahi, said he was unaware of the fact. "Taking donations for recruiting teachers is common nowadays. There is nothing unlawful in it."
Mozammel said he signed the registration documents upon Insan's request.
The sellers, however, declined to make any comment in this regard.
Sunil Chandra Das, inspector of schools at Rajshahi Education Board, said the board has also started probing the matter.
The Daily Star could not reach the teachers over the phone for their comment.
