According to the notification, while serving at Panchagarh Jail from January 17, 2023 to September 28, 2024, Abdul Fattah passed 57 fake bills in the names of three fake contractor firms. The names of these firms are Baba Mayer Dua, Nur Store and Shuvo S-Mill. The incident also mentions the collusion of the Jail Super, officers and employees of the District Accounts Office and prison guard Md Jafar Mahmud Shakil.
The investigation said that although the number of prisoners was low, the fraud was committed in a planned manner with the aim of realizing extra money. Bypassing the Jail Super, bills were prepared through prison guard Shakil and sent to the accounts office. Later, out of the embezzled money, Tk 40 lakh was deposited in Sonali Bank through 9 challans.
According to the Government Employees (Discipline and Appeal) Rules, 2018, as charges of misconduct and corruption against Abdul Fattah were proven, on the advice of the Bangladesh Public Service Commission, he was given the major penalty of dismissal from service. Currently, he was under temporary suspension while attached to Kushtia District Jail. The order signed by Senior Secretary Manzur Morshed Chowdhury of the Ministry of Home Affairs will take effect immediately.
