UNB  :
Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University Treasurer Professor Mohammed Atiqur Rahman has allegedly resorted to fraudulence and anomalies to secure his job tenure and promotion.

A written complaint has been made against him in various departments of the government, including the Health Ministry.

According to the documents submitted to the ministry, Dr Atiqur got promotions from assistant professor to associate and later to full professor through resorting to various irregularities.

He also resorted to deception to make his job permanent at the BSMMU.

Dr Mohammed Atiqur Rahman however told UNB over phone on Tuesday that the allegations brought against him are false and baseless.
He also said that he got promotions through the approval of the university syndicate. “There are no irregularities regarding
appointment and promotions,” he added.

Dr Atiqur, a Professor of Respiratory Medicine, was appointed the BSMMU treasurer in September 2018 for three years.
In 2021, he was reappointed for a second three-year term with effect from September 1.
Born in 1969, Atiqur earned his bachelor degree in medicine and surgery from Dhaka Medical College in 1994.

He obtained his doctor of medicine degree from Dhaka University in 2002, followed by his FCCP degree from the American College of Chest Physicians in 2014.
