The Election Commission (EC) has temporarily suspended Kallol Biswas, the Upazila Election Officer of Daulatpur in Kushtia, following allegations of embezzling government funds. The suspension order, signed by EC Secretary Akhtar Ahmed on Tuesday, stated that a departmental case had been filed against Biswas, and an investigation found the allegations to be true. Based on the committee’s recommendation, the EC suspended him under the Government Service Act, 2018. Despite the suspension, he will continue to receive subsistence allowance and other legal benefits.
According to EC sources, the allegations involve misappropriation of VAT and tax funds related to the 12th National Parliamentary Election. The report also noted that the EC recently dismissed Faridpur’s Additional Regional Election Officer Mahfuzur Rahman and terminated Senior Assistant Secretary Sudhanshu Kumar Saha for irregularities and bribery during his tenure in Cumilla.
The EC’s recent disciplinary actions indicate a continued effort to address corruption and irregularities within the election administration.
