Md. Ramzan Khan, the current District Registrar of Munshiganj, is alleged to be a close associate of the former Law Minister of the fallen fascist government, Anisul Haque, taking advantage of his home being in Akhaura Upazila, the same area as the former Law Minister. 

 He has allegedly used his influence to secure postings in top offices across the country over the past 15 years. During this time, he has reportedly engaged in various irregularities, corruption, and transfer-related trade, amassing crores of takas and extensive wealth.

Recently, it has been reported through a written complaint to the Law Adviser that he has formed a new syndicate with two senior officials of the Ministry of Law to restart the transfer trade. The complaint alleges that Ramzan Khan, known as the godfather of sub-registrar transfer trade and one of the country's top corrupt Awami League cadres, has acquired illegal assets and laundered crores of takas abroad through corruption and manipulation of transfers. Despite the seriousness of the allegations, no action has reportedly been taken.

In the complaint filed by employees working under the Directorate of Registration, it is further alleged that Md. Ramzan Khan, now District Registrar of Munshiganj, has made crores of takas while serving in lucrative stations across the country during his long tenure as a sub-registrar. He joined the sub-registrar position in 2004.

Since he hailed from  Akhaura, the constituency of the former Law Minister Anisul Haque, he used the minister’s influence to secure postings in the most corruption-prone offices and became a millionaire. He also engaged in the transfer of sub-registrars and employee lobbying. He was once a student cadre of the Chhatra League. As a result, he began his career in various prisons as a jail police.

Ultimately, he lost his job due to allegations of extorting money from inmates at Jessore Jail. He later joined the sub-registrar position, which marked the beginning of his fortune. He served in lucrative areas such as Narsingdi Sadar, Kalampur, Fatullah, Gulshan, Netrakona Sadar, and Sirajdikhan in Munshiganj, where he allegedly avoided government revenue and made crores through manipulation of transfers and corruption. He reportedly invested the money through his brother-in-law in London, Malaysia, and Dubai, where he now owns nearly half a dozen properties.

After a political shift in the Awami League government, he reportedly changed his party allegiance overnight and rebranded himself as a BNP leader. He then began lobbying again. He took charge of forming BNP committees in various upazilas of Brahmanbaria district and facilitated the induction of several hundred known Awami League activists into the BNP and protected them.

Claiming to be a loyal BNP man, he allegedly got promoted from sub-registrar to district registrar and, through lobbying, illegally posted himself as the district registrar in the same district, which is against the rules. After August 5, he also started profiting from fabricated legal cases.

It is alleged that Ramzan Khan played a key behind-the-scenes role in the majority of transfer trades that have occurred in the Ministry of Law, Justice, and Parliamentary Affairs over the past 17 years. He reportedly partnered with former corrupt Joint Secretary Bikash Kumar Saha to solidify the transfer business and selected the Gloria Jeans Café in Gulshan-1 as their regular meeting place. Every evening, this place becomes a hub for transfer trade among sub-registrars and district registrar office assistants.

He is accused of transferring over 150 sub-registrars in the past six months alone, collecting crores of takas with the help of two top officials of the Ministry of Law and certain sub-registrars. The transferred areas include Chattogram Sadar, Gulshan, Shyampur, Keraniganj, Gojaria, Rupganj, Kapasia, Sreepur, Gazipur Sadar, Rangunia, Cox’s Bazar Sadar, Patiya, Noakhali Sadar, Tangail Sadar, Nawabganj, Madhupur, Ghatail, Trishal, Kandirpar, Fulpur, Khilgaon, and many more.

A specific allegation states that he took Tk 1.2 crore from Lutfor Rahman Molla, the sub-registrar of Jaldhaka in Nilphamari, promising to transfer him to Chattogram Sadar or Rupganj. Instead, he arranged a transfer to Sitakunda. Later, receiving more money, he transferred others to Chattogram Sadar and Rupganj. Claiming the Sitakunda transfer was undue, he allegedly took another Tk 60 lakh to cancel the order of current Sitakunda sub-registrar Raihan Habib and never returned the money to Lutfor Rahman Molla.

Ramzan Khan, dubbed the godfather of the transfer trade, has reportedly declared he will be transferred from Munshiganj to Dhaka District’s Tejgaon Registration Complex and join as Dhaka District Registrar within May. Concerned officials fear that if this top corrupt Awami cadre and international money launderer becomes the Dhaka District Registrar ( DR),  the 21 sub-registry offices in the district will become dens of corruption. Ramzan Khan reportedly has 30 personal agents nationwide, who forcibly compel sub-registrars to process deeds at key registration complexes like Dhaka and Chattogram.

The complaint further mentioned  that he has 30 flats and plots booked in Gulshan under various names, resides in Gulshan Niketan, owns hundreds of acres in Akhaura, and has large sums in bank accounts. The written complaint demands legal action against the corrupt and transfer trade godfather Ramzan Khan.

Moreover, multiple complaints against him have reportedly been submitted to the Legal Adviser, the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC), and other agencies. It is alleged he continues to suppress these cases with huge bribes.

He is also accused of using the name of a BNP leader and providing financial benefits to that leader to protect himself. It is reported that the BNP high command has been informed of this.

On the other hand, a human rights organization is preparing to submit an application to the Legal Adviser, ACC, and Directorate of Registration for an investigation into these irregularities and corruption.

According to a reliable source, the Law  Adviser has banned him from entering the Ministry of Law due to the complaints filed against him.

It is also learned that if his plan to become the Dhaka District Registrar fails, he is preparing to move to the United States or another country.

When contacted on WhatsApp for comment regarding the allegations, he did not respond but instead attempted to lobby to stop the publication of the report.
