Leaders of Khulna city and district units Awami League demanded removal of Sub-Inspector of Harinhata police station Alamgir Hossain for his alleged corruption.
Leaders of the ruling party made the demand in a statement yesterday. The statement said SI Alamgir had earned a huge amount of money through drug trading, extortion and harassing general people.
He has been suspended for several times, but he returned back his post by convincing political high ups.
Recently, he has fasted a truck driver and tortured him in a bid to realise extortion from him.
The government should remove him from his job as he has vandalised picture of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina recently, said the statement.
The leaders also urged the authorities concerned to file case against the official as soon as possible.
Lawmakers Begum Munnujan Sufian, Talukder Abdul Khaleque and General Secretary of Khulna Awami League SM Mustafa Rashidi Suza, among others, were the signatories of the statement.
When contacted, SI Alamgir Hossain told the Dhaka Tribune that allegations brought out against him were not true. He also denied vandalising photo of the prime minister. He also said a vested-interested group was hatching conspiracy against him to tarnish his image.
