Intelligence agencies are currently gleaning information about the deputy commissioners (DCs) who served as returning officers in 2024 general elections, reports UNB.

Senior Secretary of the Ministry of Public Administration Mokhlesur Rahman on Sunday confirmed this matter to the agency.

Among DCs who were made officers on special duty (OSD) or sent into forced retirement for their role in 2014 and 2018 national elections, cases will be filed only against those against whom there are allegations of financial irregularities, he said while talking to reporters at the secretariat.

“The government has not acted unjustly or with bias against anyone. Decisions were made solely in the interest of the state,” the senior secretary said.

He said after reviewing intelligence reports, the government will make final decisions through the Advisory Council’s committee.

Depending on the severity of the allegations, some officials may be made OSD or sent into compulsory retirement, but the government will ensure fairness in all cases, he added.

Meanwhile, nine additional secretaries from different ministries are set to be promoted to the position of secretary soon, he said.

He said the government has decided on these promotions based on merit and eligibility, ruling out any favoritism in the process.
