Deputy Attorney General Imran dismissed

Deputy Attorney General Imran Ahmed Bhuiyan has been dismissed from his post.

The Law, Justice and Parliamentary Affairs Ministry issued a notification in this regard on Thursday which was published on Friday.

He was dismissed in the public interest under section 4(1) of ‘The Bangladesh Law Officers Order, 1972,’ according to the notification.

Earlier this morning, Law Minister Anisul Huq confirmed Imran's dismissal from DAG post.

On September 4, Imran Ahmed told reporters that he decided not to sign a counter statement allegedly prepared by the Attorney General's office against the statement of World leaders in support of Nobel laureate Dr Muhammad Yunus.

Later, Law Minister Anisul said DAG Imran breached discipline by making a statement about the issue without prior permission from the Attorney General.
