[Dhaka Tribune] Former Sonagazi cop shoppe OC Moazzem Hossain has been temporarily suspended and attached to the Rangpur Range. Additional Inspector General (AIG) Sohel Rana, of the media and public relations branch of the Police Headquarters, confirmed the matter to Dhaka Tribune on Friday.
Moazzem had been previously withdrawn from Sonagazi cop shoppe and transferred to the Armed Police Battalion (APBn) on April 10. His subsequent suspension came following a report filed by a probe committee formed by the Police Headquarters on April 13, to investigate madrasa student Nusrat Jahan Rafi's death.
Nusrat, an Alim examinee and a student of Songazi Islamia Fazil (Degree) Madrasa, died on April 10, from injuries she received after supporters of the madrasa's principal, Md Sirjaddaula, set her on fire at the madrasa premises on April 6.
Nusrat had previously lodged a sexual harassment complaint against Sirajaddaula on March 27, with the Sonagazi cop shoppe, after which he was locked away
Youse'll never take me alive coppers!... [BANG!]... Ow!... I quit!
and placed in durance vile
Drop the heater, Studs, or you're hist'try!
. She was set on fire after Sirajaddaula's associates failed to intimidate her into withdrawing the complaint.
Moazzam, the then OC of Sonagazi cop shoppe, instead of heeding Nusrat's pleas for help, recorded the whole incident, and spread it via social media. A case was filed against him under the Digital Security Act.
According to the probe committee's report‐submitted on April 30‐the OC had conspired with Sonagazi upazila Awami League President, Ruhul Amin, to fabricate Nusrat's attack as a suicide attempt.
