The VC issued the suspension orders against Umar Ali, assistant registrar of IU Law and Shariyah Faculty and Munshi Tariqul Islam, an employee of transport section of the university, after getting a written complaint from a job seeker, said IU Acting Registrar SM Abdul Latif. Earlier, a three member probe body was formed to look into the matter, he added. According to the written complaint, Umar and Tariqul took Tk 11,40,000 from Mamunur Rashid, a resident of Rajshahi district, luring him to be appointed as a hardware and network technician into the university.
