A Dhaka court yesterday framed charges against suspended DIG Mizanur Rahman and three others in a graft case.

The other accused are: Mizan's wife Sohelia Anar Ratna, his brother Mahbubur Rahman, and nephew Mahmudul Hasan, a suspended sub-inspector of police.

Of them, Mizan and Mahmudul are now in jail, while Sohelia and Mahmudur are on the run. Mizan and Mahmudul, who were present in the court, pleaded not guilty and demanded justice after Judge Al Asad Md Asifuzzaman of the Special Judge's Court-6 of Dhaka read out the charges to them.

Before that, the judge dismissed the petitions submitted for discharging the two from the case and fixed October 27 for starting trial of the case.

On January 30, ACC Deputy Director Monjur Morshed, also the case's investigation officer, submitted the charge sheet against Mizan and three others.

On June 24 last year, ACC filed the case against Mizan and three others on charges of amassing over Tk 3 crore beyond known sources of income.

According to the case statement, Mizan submitted his wealth statement to the ACC in August of 2018, citing that he has Tk 1.56 crore of wealth. But he concealed information about the remaining Tk 3.07 crore and kept it in different forms under his wife and relatives' names.
