Rafiqul Islam, officer-in-charge of the Sonargaon police station in Narayanganj, has been withdrawn from his duty.
Narayanganj Superintendent of Police (SP) Jayedul Alam confirmed the matter to Dhaka Tribune on Monday morning.
He said Rafiqul Islam was withdrawn and attached to the police lines on Sunday night for administrative reasons.
Sonargaon police Inspector (Investigation) Tabidur Rahman is currently serving as the acting officer in charge of the police station.
Rafiqul took charge of the police station on October 5 last year, according to a media report.
His transfer came a day after Hefazat-e-Islam leader Mawlana Mamunul Haque's detention along with a woman at a resort in Sonargaon of Narayanganj.
Soon after locals held Mamunul inside the resort room, police took him in custody for quizzing over the matter. Later, Hefazat leaders and activists snatched Mamunul Haque away from there.
