A Project Implementation Officer (PIO) in Debiganj upazila of Panchagarh, Babul Chandra Roy, was withdrawn a day after a video showing him allegedly calculating bribes and commissions went viral. The Ministry of Disaster Management and Relief issued a circular on Tuesday stating that he was removed from Debiganj and attached to the Department of Disaster Management. The order instructed him to join his new post by June 24, warning that failure to do so would result in immediate release from his current duties. The circular did not specify the reason for his withdrawal.
The video, lasting about four minutes and forty-seven seconds, reportedly showed Babul Chandra Roy using a calculator to determine commission amounts for various projects under TR, Kabikha, and Kabita allocations. The footage spread widely across social media and news outlets, sparking extensive discussion in different circles.
The ministry’s action followed widespread media coverage of the alleged 15 percent commission demand linked to project allocations in Debiganj.
