The letter said, "Joint Commissioner Imam Hossain is a corrupt officer. There are graft allegations against him in various purchases of DMP."
He requested the IGP to transfer him from the unit.
"The joint commissioner offered the commissioner a percentage from the procurement of the DMP. And, that is why I think, he should not be working in DMP," he added.
