An allegation of embezzlement has been received against SI Mohibur of Sylhet’s Jaintapur Model Police Station. It caused a stir. A victim has filed a written complaint with Sylhet Range DIG seeking redressal and refund.

It is known that Abul Kashem of Gaurishankar village of Jaintapur upazila filed a case in Sylhet court alleging assault and extortion of money. Which is CR Case No-161/2022. This hellish rampage happened during the investigation of the said case. And its nat guru is SI Mohibur, the investigating officer of that case.

Plaintiff Abul Kashem has mentioned in his written complaint that 2/3 miscreants including defendant Mansoor of the same village entered the house of Abul Kashem and attacked him in a planned manner on the night of August 4. Later he filed the said case to get redressal and justice. At one point the investigation started. SI Mohibur of Jaintapur Model Police Station was given the responsibility of its investigation. First of all, he investigated and managed to recover a mobile set and 10,000 (Ten Thousand Taka) cash from the plaintiff. After that, he began to negotiate with the plaintiff. The contract was settled at (30,000) thirty thousand rupees. At one point, he returned the recovered mobile set to the plaintiff, but kept the evidence of the other recovered case, 10,000 taka, in his pocket. According to the SI, the next day the plaintiff paid 20,000 (twenty thousand taka) to him. The next day, SI Mohibur took the testimony of 3-4 other people on his side including the plaintiff. But then Ganesh changed. After a few days, the plaintiff came to know that the CR case report was sent to the court with the final report by the police SI Mahibur.
Meanwhile, the debtor was pressing Abul Kashem to pay twenty thousand rupees. But when he demanded the money back several times from the SI, he threatened to sue him, attack him and leave the area. Finally, he overcame his fear and submitted a written application to Sylhet Range DIG on Tuesday 1st September to get the money back. A source in the DIG branch confirmed the authenticity of the application.

When asked about this over the phone, the investigating officer of the case, SI Mohibur, admitted that he had recovered the mobile set, but said that he did not take any money.
