The officer-in-charge of Noakhali’s Begumganj police station has been removed and attached to the Chittagong police range until further order.
Notice relating to the order came from the office of the Deputy Inspector General of Police (DIG) on Tuesday morning, according to Deepak Jyoti Kheesa, additional superintendent of police of Noakhali.
Harun-or-Rashid Chowdhury, the former officer-in-charge of the Begumganj police station, has been directed to join the Chittagong police as early as possible.
Deepak Jyoti Kheesa, additional superintendent of police of Noakhali, declined to comment on the reason behind the removal.
However, some sources, seeking anonymity, stated that the OC’s negligence in duty in handling the rape and torture of a woman in Noakhali might have led to his removal.
On September 2, a criminal gang forced itself into the woman’s house, tied up her husband in the next room and tried to rape her. When she defended herself, they stripped her naked, beat her up, violated and video recorded the whole thing – which later went viral on social media on Sunday.
Subsequently, the woman filed a rape case against Delwar, chief of “Delwar Bahini”, and his second-in-command Abul Kalam, on Tuesday night at Begumganj Model police station.
Delwar had raped the woman twice at gunpoint over the last year, while Abul Kalam had attempted to rape her once, according to the case statement.
