Complying with a High Court order, Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) yesterday suspended two of its sub-inspectors and transferred two other officers in connection with torture on Rakib Hossain, a grandson of the country's first Prime Minister Tajuddin Ahmed.
Deputy Police Commissioner of Gulshan division, Khandker Lutful Kabir, said he had suspended sub-inspectors Soumen Barua and Mostafizur Rahman of Gulshan Police Station and the DMP commissioner transferred the two others.
Assistant Commissioner of Gulshan zone, Ashraful Azim Miah, and Officer-in-Charge of Gulshan Police Station, Shah Alam, were transferred to the south division of Detective Branch of Police and Ramna Police Station respectively, he added.
The DC said Shahnewaj Khaled, assistant commissioner (administration) of Gulshan division, will replace Azim while Rafiqul Islam, officer-in-charge of Ramna Police Station, will replace Alam.
