He was arrested on Friday.

Moni Singha is accused of supplying bamboo instead of iron rod for the construction of an agriculture department building in Darshana.

Construction was suspended after the locals brought the allegation on Apr 6 and a three-member committee led by Damudhuda Upazila Executive Officer Faridur Rahman was formed by the district administration to look into the allegation.

The committee found the allegation to be true.

A case was lodged by the Senior Monitoring Evaluation Officer Marina Jebunnahar on Apr 12 against Moni charging him of using inferior quality material for construction.

Two other accused are yet to be nabbed.
