After this, the Nilphamari District Food Department formed two separate investigation committees, each consisting of three members and one member from the Food Directorate. The investigation committee of the District Food Department did not talk to the concerned media personnel, but only took signatures from the dealers to the effect that there was no financial transaction and left after conducting a responsible investigation. Later, on August 27, the head of the investigation committee of a member of the Food Directorate and Rangpur District Food Controller Saleh Aziz came to the Dimla food warehouse for investigation. He talked to the dealers of the food-friendly program and the concerned media personnel. At that time, various information and complaints about the warehouse's activities were presented to the investigation committee along with evidence. In continuation of this, on September 2, Assistant Director of the Food Department, Moniruzzaman Dimla, came to the food warehouse for a surprise audit. His day-long audit found discrepancies and irregularities in various matters including the food warehouse's sacks, rice and paddy accounts. Later, based on that information, several officers of the department led by Fazle Rabbi Haider, Deputy Director (Case and Investigation Branch) of the Food Department's Administration Division, arrived at the warehouse that same night and investigated. It is known from multiple confidential sources that they also found various discrepancies and irregularities. Due to which, the supply of rice to the dealers of the food-friendly program was immediately temporarily stopped. The next day, the two accused officers were released on bail.
