Mizanur Rahman, suspended deputy inspector general of police, today filed a petition with the High Court seeking anticipatory bail in a corruption case.

He submitted the petition through his lawyer Advocate Asaduzzaman Khan.

Advocate Khurshid Alam Khan, the lawyer Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC), that filed the corruption case against Mizanur Rahman, told The Daily Star that he received a copy of the bail petition filed by Mizanur Rahman.

The HC may hold hearing on the bail petition later in the day, he said.

The ACC lawyer also said that the commission will oppose the bail petition of Mizanur Rahman during its hearing.

The ACC filed the case on June 24 against suspended DIG Mizan on charge of committing corruption, taking bribe and amassing illegal wealth.
