Mohammad Rafiqul Islam, the in-charge officer of the LSD Food Warehouse in Ghatail Upazila, Tangail, has been stand released following substantiated allegations of accepting bribes and other irregularities. On Wednesday, June 4, 2025, he was transferred to the Kutubdia Upazila Food Warehouse in Cox’s Bazar with immediate effect.
Ghatail Upazila Food Controller Rafiqul Alam confirmed the development. A notification signed by the Deputy Director of the Food Directorate, Md. Monirul Islam, stated that the transfer was executed under Section 2(b) of the Food Directorate’s Transfer and Posting Policy 2016 (amended 2022).
The allegations against Rafiqul Islam surfaced after he was accused of taking a bribe of 75 paisa per kilogram from rice mill owners during rice procurement. On Monday, June 2, 2025, a team from the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) conducted a day-long operation at the Ghatail food warehouse, uncovering evidence of bribery and various irregularities. Following widespread public outcry, the authorities issued the transfer order within a day, directing Rafiqul Islam to join the Kutubdia Food Office.
This incident has raised significant concerns about transparency and accountability within the Food Directorate.
