Cash-scandal driver does not turn up


Dhaka, Apr 30 Ali Azam the driver of the car that Border Guard Bangladesh personnel caught while reportedly carrying an unaccounted for Tk 7 million cash did not appear before a probe body formed to investigate the incident.

The probe body advertised in the newspapers and sent notices to the residence of Azam, asking him to appear before it on Monday for questioning.

The driver Azam has been missing since the night of Apr 9 when BGB reportedly recovered the money from the car carrying former railways minister Suranjit Sengupta's assistant personal secretary Omar Faruq Talukdar and two railway officials

The cash-scandal led to the suspension of railways east zone general manager Yusuf Ali Mridha and railways police Dhaka commandant Enamul Haque. APS Faruq was fired while Suranjit stepped down from his position as railways minister following the incident.

Anti Corruption Commission initiated an investigation into the incident.

On a question whether a fair probe would be possible without having the driver's statement, acting railways minister Obaidul Qader said, "The probe body is working. If it fails to deal with it, we will take next step. But first we have to let them complete their investigation."

He said ACC was probing the incident and it was the most credible institution for conducting an investigation into such incidents.

The minister made the comments after holding a meeting with foreign affairs deputy minister of Belarus Sergei F. Aleinik at the railway building.

He informed that Belarus has expressed its eagerness to help Bangladesh with their modern technology in developing communications and railways infrastructure.
