Four policemen including a sub-inspector (SI) of Ashulia Police Station have been withdrawn on charges of their alleged involvement in dealing in cannabis.
Dhaka district superintendent of police (SP) Mizanur Rahman told bdnews24.com on Tuesday SI Shahadat Hossain, constables Habibur Rahman, Sarwar Hossain and Mizanur Rahman allegedly seized a covered van full of the drug and sold the haul.
"They have been withdrawn as evidence has been found against them in primary investigation," he added.
A two-member committee headed by additional SP Sheikh Rafiqul Islam was formed to investigate the incident and submit findings within a week.
More than one official of the station, seeking anonymity, told bdnews24.com that acting on a tip-off, the four policemen had seized 110 kilograms ganja and arrested two drug peddlers in front of Savar Filling Station around 11pm on Sep 12.
They freed the peddlers and the van on the same night in return for a hefty bribe, but did not return the ganja but sold those to another peddler the next day.
A case was filed on Sept 24 after five kilograms of that haul was recovered and two drug peddlers were arrested. During interrogation, the peddlers claimed they had purchased the drugs from the policemen.
