Masudul Islam is the Accountant of Chittagong City Corporation (CCC). He openly took ‘money’ from contractors while delivering checks sitting in his own office. However, he named it ‘Bakshis’.

A video of Masudul’s misdeeds has spread on social media. Eyewitnesses said that Chasik’s account department saw the sight of receiving ‘superior’ like him on a daily basis.

It is alleged that Masudul Islam took a bribe by calculating the check amount during the check delivery of the contractors. A minimum of 500 to 10,000 taka in cash has to be put in his pocket to collect the cheque. And if it is not according to the demand, then sit down and abuse.

An aggrieved contractor, who did not want to be named, said Masudul openly took gratuities (bribes) from contractors during the delivery of issued cheques. 500 to 1000 if the check is small. If the amount of the check is big, you have to pay 5000 to 10000 taka.

He also said that the work of that accountant is only to deliver checks to contractors. However, he used to take bribes of various amounts from the concerned persons every day in the name of gratuity during delivery. Checks are delivered daily. And this is his regular work.

In the 1 minute 30 second viral video on social media, some contractors came to accountant Masudul Islam’s room to collect their checks. At that time, he openly took bribe while giving the check. He took 500 taka from one person and 1000 taka from another Accountant Masudul Islam scolded him because the amount of the other person’s check was not according to his liking.

Accused accountant Masudul Islam was called multiple times on Monday to talk about the matter. Every time his phone is found switched off.

However, Chief Executive Officer of Chittagong City Corporation (CCC) Sheikh Muhammad Tauhidul Islam said, I have also received a video. We will take action against him. There is no rule of taking bribe in the name of gratuity by check delivery.
