According to the petition, all of them in collusion with each other changed the design of the Begum Rokeya University Development Project through abusing power disregarding the Development Project Proposal (DPP).
They allegedly signed contracts exceeding Tk30 crore in value without seeking approval from the relevant ministry or department.
Besides, they were also involved in misusing security deposits deducted from the contractor's running bills by keeping them as Fixed Deposit Receipts (FDRs) in a bank and subsequently issued No Objection Certificates (NOCs) to allow the contractor to secure loans against those FDRs, embezzling Tk4 crore from government funds.
