DHAKA, Feb 20: Bangladesh's highest court has removed a judge for setting up a hidden camera inside the bedroom of another judge, the state-owned news agency BSS said on Sunday.

The Supreme Court passed the ruling on Saturday after finding Illyas Rahman, a lower court judge, guilty of an “immoral act”, the agency said.

Rahman set up the camera in the bedroom of a fellow judge in the southern district of Bagerhat in August last year after “being influenced by adventure movies”, it said.

The agency gave no further details and did not report the gender of the victim.—AFP
