Dhaka South City Corporation (DSCC) Mayor Sheikh Fazle Noor Taposh today filed two cases against former Mayor Sayeed Khokon for allegedly defaming him through his recent remarks.
The two cases were filed at the court of Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Rajesh Chowdhury on Monday.
Kazi Anisur Rahman and Adocate Md Sarwar Alam on behalf of Taposh filed the cases respectively.
Earlier in the morning, Taposh told the journalists that he will filed a case against Khokon.
On Saturday, Khokon alleged that Taposh had lost eligibility for the post of mayor due to corruption allegations.
He said, Taposh has transferred hundreds of crores of taka from the funds of DSCC to his own bank - Modhumoti Bank Limited.
“Taposh is involved in corruption by violating the City Corporation Act 2009,” Khokon claimed, adding that Taposh should stop his own corruption before looking into the corruption of other DSCC officials.
