Barely 19 days after resuming the office following a court order, the government suspended, for the third time, Gazipur City Corporation Mayor MA Mannan yesterday, reports UNB.
The Local Government Division issued a notification in this regard as a lower court accepted charges against Mannan in a case filed by the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) for misusing power and embezzling state money, said Zakir Hossain, public relations officer of the LGRD and Cooperatives Ministry. Mannan took the charge of the city mayor on June 18, after 28 months of suspension, following an order of the Supreme Court.
The GCC mayor has now been suspended thrice, with the first suspension on August 19, 2015 and then on April 18 last year.
