The Detective Branch (DB) of the Police may interrogate Ali Akbar Khan, former chairman of the Bangladesh Technical Education Board (BTEB), in a case filed over certificate forgery.
“We summoned him to the DB office tomorrow [23 April] for questioning. If Ali Akbar Khan is found to be involved with the certificate forgery he will also be arrested,” DB Chief Harun-Or-Rashid said at a press conference at the DMP media centre on Monday.
Ali Akbar Khan was made OSD (officer on special duty) on Sunday after detectives found evidence of financial transactions between his wife Sehela Parveen and a gang involved in forging certificates.
A team of Detective Branch of police recently raided a fake certificate manufacturing factory in the city’s Mirpur area and arrested two people from there.
In the raid’s aftermath, Shahela Parveen, 54, the wife of Ali Akbar Khan, chairman of the Technical Education Board, was arrested from Uttara on Saturday, the DB chief said. She was shown arrested in a case filed under the Cyber Security Act, a Detective Branch source said.
Earlier on April 1, ATM Shamsuzzaman and his associate Faisal Hossain were arrested for their alleged involvement in selling fake certificates.
Sanjida Akter alias Koli, Hilful Fujul Technical Institute Principal Sarder Golam Mostofa and Dhaka Polytechnic School and College Director Maksudur Rahman were also arrested on the same allegations.
