Mostafa Kamal, the former senior secretary of the Ministry of Home Affairs, was arrested recently, according to a confirmation from Rezaul Karim Mallick, Chief of the Detective Branch of Police. This development follows ongoing investigations into several allegations against him.


Kamal, who held a significant position in the government, has faced scrutiny for his actions during his tenure. Although multiple cases have been filed against him, the Detective Branch has yet to decide which specific case will serve as the basis for his formal arrest.

Rezaul Karim Mallick stated that the investigations are still active, and authorities are gathering further evidence to support the charges. He emphasized the importance of thorough due process in handling the case.

The arrest has raised questions about accountability and transparency in public service, prompting discussions among legal experts and the public alike. Many are closely watching how this situation unfolds, particularly regarding the implications for governance and integrity within the Ministry of Home Affairs.

As investigations proceed, it remains to be seen how Kamal will respond to the allegations and whether he will seek legal recourse. The case underscores the ongoing efforts to address corruption and misconduct within government ranks.
