Bulbul not accepting corruption allegations brought by director

Sports Desk
Two days ago, BCB director Adnan Rahman Dipon went on a private television channel to bombard it. He claimed that there had been 15 years of corruption in the BCB in the last six months. However, president Aminul Islam Bulbul said that he would not take into account the allegations made by another director of his board.

BCB Director and CCCDM Committee Chairman Dipon said, “As a board director, I can say with 100% certainty that Papon’s 15-year corruption has taken place in the last six months. It was beyond the imagination of many. If I hadn’t entered the board, I wouldn’t have believed that they are so corrupt.”

After the fall of the Awami League government in August 2024, Farooq Ahmed was brought in charge of the board. Later, Farooq was removed after 9 months and Aminul Islam Bulbul was made president in a controversial election, with Farooq also serving as vice-president of this board. It has been reported that Bulbul and Farooq are jointly organizing a corruption festival with the help of recently resigned sports advisor Asif Mahmud.

A few days ago, soil worth several crores of taka was stolen in broad daylight to build a pitch at the BCB’s Purbachal Stadium under construction. The BCB could not provide any trace of the soil worth 30 crore taka. Soil is also going missing in other stadiums in the country. In addition, the last BPL brought news of one irregularity after another.

Journalists in Mirpur on Tuesday asked Bulbul about this. He said that Dipon’s allegations are personal, they will not take them into account, ‘The allegations of corruption are personal opinions and I am not accepting them. However, we are auditing the overall system of the last 15 years. We are looking into past issues, such as giving 90 runs in an over or the disappearance of soil purchased for the pitch. Currently, all types of audits are underway.’
