The High Court (HC) on Monday directed the Inspector General of Police (IGP) to withdraw the Officer-in-Charge (OC) of Narayanganj Sadar Police Station Qamrul Islam for his alleged involvement in dealing with Yaba tablets.
The court passed the order in the interest of a fair investigation into the incident of recovering 49 thousand Yaba tablets and Tk five lakh from Assistant Sub-Inspector (ASI) of police Md Suhrawardy Rubel’s house on March 7 last year.
The court also directed the Investigation Officer (IO) of the case to submit his charge sheet in the case within one month.
The HC Bench of Justice M Enayetur Rahim and Justice Md Mostafizur Rahman passed the order during hearing of a bail petition filed by police Constable Asaduzzaman, an accused of the case.
The court, however, refused to grant bail to Asaduzzaman yesterday.
On February 24, Asaduzzaman’s lawyer Advocate Sujit Chatterjee said that the HC got the news that his client and ASI Suhrawardy Rubel confessed to the Magistrate concerned that they freed few Yaba peddlers as per order of the OC Qamrul Islam in exchange of kickbacks.
He said, ASI Rubel and Constable Asaduzzaman have been suspended after the case was filed against them.
