BSS, Dhaka

The Ministry of Post and Telecommunications has directed the Bangladesh Telephone and Telegraph Board (BTTB) to put its five senior accounts officers under temporary suspension for misappropriating nearly Taka three crore through fake vouchers.

Official sources told BSS here on Sunday that administrative official Abul Kalam Azad was also suspended on the allegation of holding a file in the ministry. A departmental case has also been filed against him in this connection.

According to the BTTB sources, the ministry's suspension order was carried out against these accounts officers today.
