Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) Additional Deputy Commissioner Harun-or-Rashid has been transferred from the Detective Branch to the Crime and Operations Department.
A transfer order of three DMP officials including Harun, signed by DMP Commissioner Habibur Rahman, was issued on Wednesday evening.
Md Ashrafuzzaman of DMP’s Logistics, Finance and Procurement has been made the new DB Additional Commissioner and Additional Inspector General Dr Khandaker Mohiuddin of C&O has been transferred to the Logistics, Finance and Procurement of the DMP, the order read.
The transfers order came two days after a meeting of the Awami League-led 14-party alliance, where some party leaders expressed their resentment about Harun.
Referring to a photo where six detained quota protest organisers were seen eating at the DB office with Harun and the statement made by them afterwards announcing the end of protests.
Rashed Khan Menon, an alliance member, said such activities by a government official carries a wrong message to the people, and that a political crisis should be dealt with by the politicians.
Meanwhile, the transfer also comes after the High Court on Monday expressed its displeasure over the quota protesters’ photo at the DB office.
Under Harun, DB has detained six key leaders of the movement, including Nahid Islam, Sharzis Alam and Hasnat Abdullah, for their “own safety.”
Later, DB officers posted a facebook image of the student leaders having lunch on DB premises, drawing further criticism from netizens. The High Court also rebuked DB officers for posting the image.
