Khulna City Corporation mayor has been suspended after being charged with criminal offences.
A senior official of the local government division said that they issued a circular on Moniruzzaman Moni’s suspension as a court accepted his name in the charge-sheets of two criminal cases.
Moni has been suspended as per the Local Government (City Corporation) Act, the official said.
The law states that any one of the panel mayors of the KCC could now be made acting mayor.
Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP)-backed Moni beat ruling Awami League-backed candidate Talukdar Abdul Khaleque in the KCC polls held in June, 2013.
On June 11 this year, a local court accepted charge-sheets against 56 people, including Moni, in two criminal cases in connection with arson and attacks on law enforcers.
Earlier, Sylhet City Corporation mayor Ariful Huq, Rajshahi City Corporation mayor Mosaddek Hossain Bulbul and Gazipur City Corporation mayor MA Mannan were also suspended on the same ground. They were all BNP leaders who had defeated the Awami League nominees.
