The BGB personal seized the money and detained the driver, Ali Azam, and three others who turned out to be railway minister’s Assistant Personal Secretary (APS) Omar Faruq Talukder, Bangladesh Railway General Manager (East) Yusuf Ali Mridha and its Chief Commandant Enamul Huq.

It was reported in the media that Azam, the driver of APS Omar, drove the vehicle carrying the APS and two other officials to gate-4 at Jhigatola after they refused to give him Tk 5 lakh as a share of the money .The detainees were released at around 1:00pm yesterday.

Inside story:

Credible sources said the car was moving towards the Sudha Sadan. It was promised by the railway minister to give Tk 5 lakh at the end of the railway recruitment business.

When the driver find out that he was betrayed he revealed the corruption money to the BGB personals.

When BGB personals in the gate -4 find out a large amount of money they called up several senior officials. Maj Gen Anwar Hossain, director general of the BGB was subsequently informed about the recovery of the money.

On the mean time be railway minister’s Assistant Personal Secretary (APS) Omar Faruq Talukder was allowed to call the railway minister and he informed what is happening in the gate 4.


Suranjit Sen Gupta quickly cut the line and he call up the Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and Sheikh Selim.

That made a huge difference into the scene. Defence Adviser Maj Gen (Retd) Tarique Ahmed Siddique immediately called General Md Abdul Mubeen, chief of army staff of Bangladesh Army.

Railways Minister Suranjit Sengupta publicly denied his involvement with the corruption. Suranjit Sengupta said the incident of recovering money from the car of his assistant personal secretary (APS) was part of a “well orchestrated conspiracy” to humiliate him politically.

Recently Bangladesh railway department published advertisement for recruiting 7,140 personnel and it has, so far been able to complete recruitment of only 1,771 persons. The money was collected as bribe from different people looking for jobs.

Driver Ali Azam had taken to DGFI custody.Railway minister’s Assistant Personal Secretary (APS) Omar Faruq Talukder, Bangladesh Railway General Manager (East) Yusuf Ali Mridha and its Chief Commandant Enamul Huq was told by prime minister’s office that if they keep silent they will be awarded and the Prime minister’s office will made sure of impunity.

Previous Extortion allegations and criminal charges:

On April 9, 2007, it was announced that Bangladesh police were investigating extortion charges against Hasina. She was accused of forcing Bangladeshi businessman Tajul Islam Farooq to pay bribes before his company could build a power plant in 1998. Farooq said that he paid Hasina 30 million takas (US$441,000, or €383,211) to get his project approved by the government, according to a police official.

On July 16, 2007, Hasina was arrested by state police at her home and taken before a local court in Dhaka.She was accused of extortion and denied bail on the same day, and was held in a building converted into a jail on the premises of the National Parliament. According to the Awami League, the arrest was politically motivated.

On January 13, 2008, she was indicted by a special court along with two of her relatives, her sister Sheikh Rehana and her cousin Sheikh Selim, on extortion charges.On February 6, however, the High Court stopped the trial, ruling that she could not be prosecuted under emergency laws for alleged crimes committed prior to the imposition of the state of emergency.

Intelligence sources said that Chief of army staff was awarded a large amount of money for tackling the situation.

Can anyone confirm whether there are any reality of the news... If true I am deeply sad and ashamed as it even gave a bad name to our reputed and patriotic Bangladesh Army :confused:. I just want to make sure whether it is true or just a propaganda :angry:.

Or is it the reason why even some sources said there were 4 cr 70 lakh taka but eventually only 70 lakh taka was shown???
 
:coffee:The internal news is he is going to leave his post.

But I feel so bad that this man is not among those guys who r really fond of corruption.He most probably 7 times won from his area.He is so famous that he is elected that many time.But first time in his life he gets the ministerial post & trapped in a corruption scandal,sounds very much fishy to me.May be he was not involved in this his fellows were maybe the actual culprit. Or in first time in his life he taken the opportunity.Everything is possible.

But if his corruption is proved than what.So many or all of them r corrupted, today's or previous,can anybody show an example of their detention.

Today news came out that his son got Sengupta teleom ICX license and has paid 50 million taka as a license fee and 300 million to set up the company. How he got the money when his father has shown that he has only 7 lakh taka yearly income?

Will you also shed some light on the news of involvement of PM's defense adviser and army general in the issue and army general's taking of money to handle it??? I am really sad, concern and worried if it is really true.

They do, especially government drivers do. He wanted a piece of the pie. Government drivers get all the government amnesties. So he probably thought he is under the railway ministry, these drivers think they are ministers themselves in few cases:lol:. I remember couple of years back in the gas station refueling the car, i was in the line and left a decent gap from the car infront, an agricultural ministry jeep broke the line and took my spot....i lol'd and told him if you dont remove the car i will hit his car with my own....he got mad and what not, he thought i was bluffing and i did so:lol:..took his right rear door...slammed it in....then asked for his boss's number so that i can tell his boss that what a scoundrel he is....he got really mad kept on blabbing i was just listening to a song in my car....after 5 minutes he came to me and apologized and left.....:lol:my gf at that told me you have mental problems...so yes government drivers think they are holier than thou.
