Chattogram City Kotwali Police Station Officer-in-Charge (OC) Fazlul Quader Chowdhury has been transferred and Police Special Branch Inspector Md. Abdul Karim has been posted as OC.
Lawyer Saiful Islam Alif was killed by the followers of expelled ISKCON leader Chinmoy Krishna Das Brahmachari near the police station over the rejection of bail!
CMP Commissioner Hasib Aziz ordered the transfer on Thursday (November 28). Kotwali OC Fazlul Quader Chowdhury has been transferred to DB Port in the same order.
A CMP source said that other top officials of the city police had also accused OC Fazlul of irresponsibility before and after the clash that took expelled ISKCON leader Chinmoy Krishna Das Brahmachari to jail.
Earlier, on the night of the incident, Liaquat Ali Khan, Deputy Commissioner of the South Zone, was transferred to the Public Order Management Department. The British news agency Reuters quoted him in a report and published comments, which created controversy. Later, the international media removed the comments after objections from the CMP.
OC Abdul Karim, who was posted to Kotwali, was transferred from the Special Branch of the City Police to the Officer-in-Charge of the EPZ Police Station in August 2022. There, a year later, he was again taken to the Special Branch of the City Police.
