DGFI
Responsibility of Directorate General of Forces Intelligence (DGFI)- An officer of DGFI who has sworn affidavit has also admitted impliedly that the money have been extorted by an officer of DGFI, but according to him, he has acted access of power for which the DGFI shall not take any responsibility. This statement belies the documents submitted by Bangladesh Bank. This force cannot deny its responsibility in view of the fact that after collection of the pay orders the officer communicated his action to its chief. It is claimed by the writ petitioners and also by the learned Counsel that the businessmen have been compelled to attend at a specified office under its control. They were kept sitting from dawn to dusk for days together and sometimes detained there without furnishing any information to their near ones. It was not possible to act as such on the part of one officer without knowledge and concurrence of the authority on consideration of the fact that it was not an isolated incident, rather the arrest, detention and torture both physically and mentally were carried out for days together against dignified and resourceful persons. It was a concerted effort on the part of this agency is beyond reprehensible. Those actions were taken openly and freely, and the same need not be proved.
