A court in Dhaka has asked the Police Bureau of Investigation to probe a case filed against Dhaka South City Corporation Mayor Sayeed Khokan and six others.
Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Ashok Imam on Wednesday ordered the PBI to investigate the case and submit probe report by January 31.
Earlier on Tuesday, Delwar Hossain, president of Fulbaria Super Market-2 in the capital, lodged the lawsuit before the court against Sayeed Khokan and six others on charge of embezzling around Tk 34.89 crore by allotting shops with no design.
The court bench-clerk Mizanur Rahman confirmed the matter.
