Case against Bogra DC, officials

Our Correspondent, Bogra
A case was filed against the Deputy Commissioner (DC) and 14 other Bogra district administration officials accusing them of appointing employees in the DC office through forgery and violating the order of establishment ministry.

Abdul Hamid, a job seeker for the post of process server in the DC office, filed the case seeking compensation of Tk 4 lakh from the district administration.

The petitioner alleged that on July 30 this year, the Bogra DC office advertised for some vacant posts of third and fourth class employees. The advertisement mentioned that the DC office would appoint seven process servers under the existing salary structure.

In his petition, Hamid mentioned that he appeared for the viva-voce on October 25 and viva board members informed him verbally that he was selected for the post.

On October 26 the DC office published the result of viva-voce and later appointed eight persons excluding Hamid.
