Chief health officer among 4 RCC staffs held

Members of Rapid Action Battalion (Rab) yesterday arrested four officials and employees of Rajshahi City Corporation (RCC), including the chief health officer, for selling out anti-rabbit vaccines of the government, which were not for sale.

Rab members last night arrested Chief Health Officer Rizvi Sultan and Store Keeper Afsar Ali when they went to Rab office with papers related to sale of anti-rabbit vaccines of the government, as Rab found evidence of irregularities in the papers.

Earlier in the day, Rab held Zillur Rahman, 55, of Wasenkola of Rajpara and Mohammad Khaibar, 54, of Ranibazar of Boalia thana, both are employees of RCC.


Rab members seized four vaccines from them and labels on those read, 'For free distribution by Peoples Republic of Bangladesh Government, Not for Sale'.


A Rab press release said a citizen informed Rab officials at Rajshahi Railway Colony camp that RCC staff refused him anti-rabbit vaccines saying there was no vaccine when he went to RCC Bhaban as dog bit his son.


With the complaint, a team of Rab members went to RCC for buying the vaccine and they were also refused.

Later, the Rab members challenged two RCC staffs outside RCC Bhaban and found the four vaccines with them.
