A Sylhet court has ordered eight officials of Sylhet Medical University to be sent to jail in a corruption case filed by the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) over alleged irregularities in staff recruitment. On Sunday, January 25, 2026, Sylhet Metropolitan Sessions Judge Munshi Abdul Majid rejected their bail petitions and issued the order. ACC Public Prosecutor Mohammad Shafiul Alam confirmed the court’s decision. The accused include procurement officer Abdul Munim, section officer Rinku Das, Chowdhury Rumman Ahmed, Lokman Ahmed, administrative officer Suranjit Ranjan Talukder, Robiul Alam Bokul, Mohammad Rashedul Islam, and office assistant-cum-computer operator Ruhul Amin.
The case stems from allegations of widespread corruption in recruitment at the university, which was established in 2018. Following complaints, the University Grants Commission (UGC) launched an investigation in 2023 and found evidence of abuse of power and financial irregularities by then Vice-Chancellor Morshed Ahmed Chowdhury and acting registrar Md. Naimul Haque Chowdhury. Based on the findings, the ACC’s Sylhet office filed a case on April 1, 2024, against 58 individuals, including the former vice-chancellor and registrar. Arrest warrants were issued on April 25, 2024, and several other officials had previously been denied bail in the same case.
