Rogue OC transferred
In the face of continuing demonstration of journalists, the officer-in-charge of Dhanmondi Police Station has been transferred.
Anwar Hossain, inspector (investigation) of the police station, said "OC Moniruzzaman will hand over the charge to me today (yesterday). We received the transfer order a day ago."
Journalists have been demanding removal of Moniruzzaman, as he led police into using batons and firing blank shots to disperse journalists, who were demonstrating the death of journalist Bibash Chandra Saha in a road accident in the capital's Dhanmondi on May 11.
OC Moniruzzaman was transferred to Demra Police Station, while the Demra OC was sent to Detective Branch of Police of Dhaka Metropolitan Police.
The transfer order came, as a number of journalist organisations got united at Dhaka Reporters' Unity on Thursday over the demand of the OC's removal.
