The High Court yesterday handed Mizan to the police after he appeared before it and sought bail in the graft case and also asked DMP to produce him before the court within 24 hours.
Later, the top-ranking police officer was taken to Shahbagh Police Station. He was there till last night.
On June 24, the Anti-Corruption Commission filed the case with its Integrated District Office in Dhaka against Mizan, his wife Sohelia Anar Ratna and nephew Mahmudul Hasan, a sub-inspector of police, on charges of amassing over Tk 3 crore beyond known source of income.
It has been seen on TV that he (Mizan) confessed to giving bribe to an ACC official.
The HC bench also summarily rejected another anticipatory bail petition of the suspended deputy inspector general’s nephew (sister’s son) Mahmudul in connection with the same case and directed him to surrender before the trial court within 72 hours.
