Kazi Moniruzzaman appointed Feni SP

Kazi Moniruzzaman has taken charge as the new superintendent of police in Feni.

He took charge on Sunday night after SM Jahangir Alam Sarker was withdrawn for negligence of duty over the murder of madrasa student Nusrat Jahan Rafi, said Assistant Inspector General (Media and Public Relations) Sohel Rana.

Moniruzzaman was previously on duty as an additional superintendent of police (admin) in Feni.

Jahangir was withdrawn as per recommendations of the investigation committee formed by Police Headquarters over Nusrat’s murder.

On April 6, Nusrat was set on fire at an examination centre allegedly by people loyal to her madrasa principal Sirajuddoula in Sonagazi upazila. She had accused him of sexually harassing her. Sirajuddoula was arrested and subsequently suspended.

Nusrat died on April 10 at Dhaka Medical College Hospital.

A case was filed accusing eight identified people, including Sirajuddoula, lecturer of English Absar Uddin, Feni municipality councillor Maksudul Alam Maksud, and four unidentified ones.

Later, the case was transferred to the Police Bureau of Investigation.
