Police on Sunday withdrew two Officers-in-Charge on charge of negligence of duty as Parliament's Whip Sheikh Abdul Wohab was assaulted in the district.
Jessore Superintendent of Police (SP) Kamrul Ahsan told bdnews24.com that Abhaynagar's OC Ahsan Habib and Monirampur's OC Mohammad Soyer Uddin were sent to the office of Khulna Deputy Inspector General.
Wohab, also the ruling Awami League's Jessore-6 MP, was assaulted on Saturday morning when he went to visit the TRM project related to river management at Abhaynagar's Bilkapalia area, his electoral constituency.
Several others including six police officials and Abhaynagar Upazila Chairman Abdul Malek were also injured in the attack. At least 11 vehicles, including one of police, were vandalised and torched.
Jessore Additional SP Jakir Hossain told bdnews24.com that allegations of police's negligence during the attack will be investigated.
Wohab, however, told : "Police acted like spectators watching us when we were attacked."
He said Assistant SP Abul Kalam Azad and OCs of Abhaynagar and Monirampur police were also present at the scene. "They did not even protect me even when I asked for help."
Wohab will speak at a news conference at 8pm Sunday at the Jessore Circuit House on the attack.
Journalist Kamrul Islam, who was travelling with the Whip, on Saturday had told bdnews24.com that some unknown assailants launched the attack.
He added that it was suspected that a particular quarter opposing the TRM project might have carried out the attack.
