After recording the statements, Magistrate Rajesh Chowdhury fixed Tuesday for passing orders in both the cases.
In both the case statements it is mentioned that on Saturday at a human chain in front of the High Court, former mayor Khokon said that  Taposh’s handling of DSCC funds was a violation of the Local Government Act.
Khokon also said Taposh was receiving crores of take in profit from the DSCC funds by investing the money in different organisations while different development projects were stalled amid fund shortage.
Sheikh Fazle Noor Taposh had lost eligibility for the post of the mayor due to corruption allegations, Khokon added.
After publishing the report the incumbent Mayor’s image and reputation   were hampered badly.
Recently, Taposh led a drive at Sundarban Market and Fulbaria Supermarket triggered protest by small businessmen as Mobile courts demolished several hundred shops.
