The government on Sunday withdrew Cox's Bazar Superintendent of Police
Selim Mohammad Jahangir and attached him to Police Headquarters, nearly a
month after the communal violence at the district's Ramu upazila.
The Ministry of Home Affairs issued a circular in this regard in the afternoon. The Buddhist community leaders have been voicing their demand to withdraw Jahangir since the attack.
On Sept 29 night, religious zealots, apparently stirred by a Facebook post allegedly denigrating Islam and the Quran, attacked the Buddhist households in Ramu. They attacked, vandalised, looted and torched seven monasteries, 30 houses and shops there.
The hate attacks also spread in Cox's Bazar's Ukhia and Teknaf and Chittagong's Patia on the following day.
The locals have been accusing police of inaction since the beginning and during the attacks.
Six other police officials were also transferred across the country on Sunday. Four of them are Deputy Inspectors General (DIG) and two are SPs.
Police Headquarters Public Relations Officer Qamrul Ahsan confirmed of the transfers.
Criminal Investigation Department's (CID) Additional DIG Anwar Hossain has been promoted to police's Special Brach DIG while one of the Directors in Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) Manzur Kader Khan was made DIG in the police headquarters. OSD DIG Abdullahel Baki was made Vice Principal at the Bangladesh Police Academy in Sarda while Barisal range Additional DIG Bhanulal Das was promoted to DIG in CID.
Patuakhali SP Azad Mia replaced Selim Mohammad Jahangir as Cox's Bazar district's SP while Dhaka Telecom SP Rafiqul Hasan Khan replaced Azad.
Fifty-one top level police officials were also shuffled on Thursday.
