An additional deputy commissioner Shahidur Rahman Ripon with the Wari Zone of the Dhaka Metropolitan Police's Detective Branch (DB) and an investigator in the murder case of Jhenaidah-4 lawmaker Md Anwarul Azim Anar, has been transferred to Barisal. A notification issued by the police headquarters on Sunday said he had been transferred to Barisal to assume the position of additional superintendent of police.
Sources at the police headquarters said it was a routine transfer.
Speaking on condition of anonymity, a DB official said the transfer list had been made a long time ago and that the police chief signed the list on Sunday.
He might not have observed the fact that Shahidur was involved in investigating a crucial case like the MP murder, the officer added.
According to sources, Shahidur is currently in Nepal with the DB team investigating the murder of MP Anar. He was also part of the DB team that travelled to India for the investigation.
Before this, Shahidur was involved in investigations concerning highly discussed incidents like the killing of Awami League leader Jahidul Islam Tipu and the death of Buet student Fardin Noor Parash.
The same notification also mentioned the transfer of 10 other additional superintendents of police and 12 assistant superintendents of police.
Subsequently, on 26 May, a three-member DB team, led by its chief Harunor Rashid, travelled to Kolkata for further investigation. On 1 June, a four-member DB team went to Nepal after Kathmandu police detained another suspect.
