Seven police personnel were temporarily suspended from their posts for their alleged involvement in the killing of Major (retd) Sinha Md Rashed Khan in police firing on Marine Drive in Teknaf on July 31.
The suspended police personnel include: Pradeep Kumar Das, Officer-in-Charge of Teknaf Police Station; Liaqat Ali, Inspector of Baharchhara Police Investigation Centre; Sub-inspector Nandadulal Raxit; ASI Liton Mia; and three constables — Safanur Karim, Kamal Hossain, and Abdullah Al Mamun.
The Police Headquarters ordered the suspension of Pradeep and Liakat while Cox’s Bazar district police made the decision on the five others, Cox’s Bazar Superintendent of Police ABM Masud Hossain said on Friday.
The seven police personnel are among nine accused in a case filed over the killing of the retired army officer.
On August 6, the Senior Judicial Magistrate’s Court in Teknaf rejected bail pleas of the seven police personnel and ordered to send them to jail after they surrendered to the court and submitted bail petitions in the case.
The court also granted the Rapid Action Battalion seven days to remand in custody Pradip, Liakat and Dulal for questioning.
Following the order, they were immediately suspended temporarily from the force for their alleged involvement in the killing, SP Masud said.
Rashed’s sister Sharmin Shahria Ferdous filed the case on August 5 with the court against nine persons.
She has alleged in the case that Liakat shot her brother dead on orders from Pradip on Jul 31 night.
