সাবেক উপাচার্য ও রেজিস্ট্রারের বিরুদ্ধে দুদকের মামলা

The Anti-Corruption Commission (Durnee Daman Commission, DUDOK) has approved filing a case against Swadesh Chandra Samanta, former vice chancellor of Patuakhali Science and Technology University (PSTU), and Santosh Kumar Bosu, former registrar (additional charge), over alleged irregular recruitment causing financial loss. DUDOK's deputy director Md. Aktarul Islam said the case concerns posts not approved by the University Grants Commission, and recruitment beyond the advertised posts. DUDOK alleges the two colluded to abuse power, illegally influenced selection board members, and had the Regent Board resolution prepared and approved to appoint others including the vice chancellor's son. Payments of 8,075,131 taka in salaries and allowances were made, which DUDOK says caused a loss to the government. The case is to be filed under Section 5(2) of the Prevention of Corruption Act 1947 and Sections 409 and 109 of the Penal Code.
