Three police officers have been transferred following allegations of involvement with drug trafficking. The officers in question are Sub-Inspector (SI) Humayun Ahmed, Assistant Sub-Inspector (ASI) Ahsanullah, and Nadirul Islam, all attached to Rupganj Police Station.
The Officer-in-Charge (OC) of Rupganj Police Station, Sabzel Hossain, confirmed the transfers, stating that the action was taken as a disciplinary measure.
Mehedi Islam, Assistant Police Superintendent (G Circle) of Narayanganj District Police, explained that the police force has adopted a strict zero-tolerance policy against any officer found to be associated with or suspected of collaborating with drug traffickers. “Whenever there is evidence or reasonable suspicion of police involvement with drug networks, immediate and strict measures are implemented,” he said.
Major Drug Seizure in Rupganj
The transfers come amid a significant anti-narcotics operation in Rupganj, where police recovered a substantial quantity of drugs in a coordinated early-morning raid. The operation, conducted in the Bhulta Union area, specifically in Thakur Bari Tek, resulted in the seizure of approximately 60 kilograms of cannabis and 450 bottles of the psychotropic drug Escaf.
The raid, informed by local intelligence, also targeted the nearby Lavrapara area. In a simultaneous separate operation, law enforcement recovered a private car transporting drugs, along with a magazine and a pistol. During these operations, Abu Hanif, a known drug trafficker, was arrested along with one of his associates.
