A week after a report by the newspaper Amar Desh alleged large-scale embezzlement of government funds by Barishal Deputy Commissioner (DC) Khairul Alam Suman during the 13th parliamentary election, no investigation committee has yet been formed by the ministry, and the DC remains in his position. The report has sparked widespread discussion across the district and the country. Several officials from the DC’s office have reportedly been transferred on suspicion of leaking information about the alleged corruption.
According to multiple unnamed sources, various agencies have begun collecting documents and information related to the allegations, and senior representatives have been discreetly visiting Barishal to speak with relevant individuals. The Barishal Divisional Commissioner, Khalil Ahmed, confirmed that different agencies and ministries are seeking information on the matter but said any formal action would come from the ministry. Meanwhile, intelligence agencies have reportedly been inquiring about Amar Desh’s Barishal reporter Nikunja Bala Palash, who authored the original story.
The transfers have created unrest within the DC office, with several employees reassigned to other departments or upazilas. Some officials view these moves as retaliatory, though the Divisional Commissioner said he was unaware of the transfers.
