A Dhaka court has framed charges against suspended Deputy Inspector General (DIG) of Prisons Partha Gopal Bonik in a graft case.
Judge Nazrul Islam of Dhaka Special Judge Court-10 passed the order on Wednesday.
The court also fixed November 18 to record deposition of the witnesses.
Earlier on August 31, Dhaka Metropolitan Sessions Judge KM Imrul Qayesh accepted the charge-sheet filed by the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) on August 24 and transferred the case to this court for further proceedings.
Partha, who was working at Sylhet Central Jail, was arrested by the ACC on July 28, 2019, and recovered Tk80 lakh from his North Green Road flat.
Partha during his arrest said the car he was using and was being kept at the parking space owned by him, actually belonged to his friend.
Of the money, Partha said, Tk30 lakh was given to him by his mother-in-law and Tk 50 lakh was earned by him during his years in service.
The anti-graft body filed the case on July 29, 2019, against Partha.
