Woman detained for impersonating an SI

Police detained a woman from the one stop crisis centre of Dhaka Medical College Hospital yesterday for impersonating a sub-inspector of Ashulia police station.

The detainee is Taslima Akhter Toma alias Setu, 22.

Sub-Inspector of Shahbagh police station Jahangir Alam said they detained her from DMCH around 3pm adding: “She introduced herself as a sub-inspector but the police present at the hospital became suspicious and informed Shabagh police.”

When asked the SI said she may have been seeking added favours from the hospital by impersonating.

During primary interrogation she repeated that she is a sub-inspector but her identity was found to be fake. She is now under police custody and a case was filed with the station in this regard, said SI Jahangir Alam.
