The government has posted Dhaka Metropolitan Police Deputy Commissioner Harun-or-Rashid as the superintendent of police in Narayanganj.
The home ministry issued the official order on Sunday (Dec 2).
Last week, the government withdrew Superintendent of Police (SP) Anisur Rahman from Narayanganj on the Election Commission’s orders.
The BNP-led 20-Party Alliance filed a complaint with the EC, where it claimed that it would not be possible for SP Anisur Rahman of Narayanganj to work without bias during the parliamentary polls as his wife Fatema Tuzzahura is an Awami League MP from a seat reserved for women.
SP Rahman has been posted at the Bangladesh Police headquarters as an assistant inspector general (AIG) while Barishal Range’s Additional Deputy Inspector General Md Azad Mia has been transferred to Gazipur metro police as the additional commissioner, says the ministry order.
In 2016, the BNP had lodged a complaint against Harun when he had been working in Gazipur during the union council elections. The government had withdrawn him only to reinstate him later on.
