HC orders to close Narayanganj OC over Yaba connection
DHAKA, March 4, 2019 (BSS) – The High Court (HC) today ordered authorities
concerned to close officer in-charge (OC) of Sadar Police Station in
Narayanganj over his alleged link to Yaba smuggling.
A High Court division bench comprising Justice M Enayetur Rahim and
Justice Md Mostafizur Rahman passed the order this morning. The court also
ordered the investigation officer to complete probe of the case within a
month.
On February 24, the High Court expressed its concern after being informed
that OC Kamrul Islam was involved with an incident where two of his
subordinates, who have already been detained in a yaba smuggling case, took
50,000 yaba and Taka five lakh in cash from drug paddlers and let them go on
his (Kamrul) order.
Assistant sub-inspector Mohammad Alam Sorawardy Rubel and constable
Asaduzzaman gave confessional statements in this regard.
A team of detective branch (DB) of police on March 7, 2018, recovered the
yaba and money from the residence of Assistant sub-inspector Mohammad Alam
Sorawardy Rubel and later filed the case.
In their confessional statements before court, accused Rubel and
Asaduzzaman said they had done this following the order of Kamrul.
During a hearing of bail petition of Rubel, the High Court came to know
about this and summoned the concerned investigation officer to explain why
Kamrul was not made accused in the case. The investigation officer appeared
before the court and submitted his explanation.
