The controversial DIG was suspended on Tuesday.
On May 3 last year, the ACC interrogated the DIG in connection with the accumulation of illegal wealth. The commission also reportedly found his involvement in money-laundering activities.
DIG Mizan, former additional commissioner of Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP), was withdrawn on January 9, 2018, following allegations of threatening a female news presenter of a private television channel.
Mizan reportedly picked a 25-year-old woman up in July 2017 and forcibly married her.
