Government has appointed Kazi Moniruzzaman as the new superintendent of Feni Police.
Moniruzzaman took charge late on Sunday (May 12) after SM Jahangir Alam Sarkar was withdrawn from the post in the same day.
The action against Sarkar followed the recommendation submitted by a probe panel formed by the police headquarters.
The probe panel found his negligence in dealing the case filed over the murder of madrasa girl Nusrat Jahan Rafi in Feni.
Led by to Deputy Inspector General SM Ruhul Amin, the probe panel reported to police HQ on Apr 30.
As per the committee’s recommendation, former OC of Feni’s Sonagazi police Moazzem Hossain was suspended and attached to the office of deputy inspector general (DIG) of Rangpur range.
SI Md Yusuf and SI Iqbal Ahammed were attached to the DIG office of Khulna range and the Khagrachari Hill Tract district office respectively.
On 6, Nusrat, a student of Sonagazi Islamia Fazil Madrasa in, was set ablaze allegedly for refusing to withdraw sexual abuse charges against Principal Siraj Ud Doula.
After battling critical burn injuries for five days, the 18-year-old died at Dhaka Medical College Hospital on Apr 10.
Most of the suspects are now behind the bars with Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina personally assuring that every single person involved in Nusrat’s murder would be brought to book.
