Mohammad Monzur Kader Bhuiyan, officer-in-charge (OC) of Sarail police station in Brahmanbaria, has been transferred to Chittagong District Police, around 20 days after an altercation with MP Rumeen Farhana at the police station.
Brahmanbaria Superintendent of Police Md Jalal Uddin Fahim confirmed the transfer on Wednesday. The transfer order was issued by the Chittagong Range Deputy Inspector General's office on grounds of public interest.
On the night of October 22, Rumeen Farhana, MP for the Brahmanbaria-2 constituency, visited Sarail police station to inquire about the lack of security during her visit to a Durga Puja mandap and allegations of irregularities and corruption against the OC.
During the visit, a person accompanying the MP accused the OC of taking a Tk30,000 bribe, triggering a heated exchange between the two. Monzur Kader Bhuiyan denied the allegation. Police later filed a general diary (GD) over the incident.
Separately, on October 30, the Chittagong District Bar Association issued a show-cause notice to Monzur Kader Bhuiyan, questioning how he retained his membership while serving as a police officer.
Monzur Kader Bhuiyan said he had applied to suspend his membership before joining the police force and had already submitted the necessary documents in response to the notice.
According to sources at the District Police Special Branch, he took charge as OC of Sarail police station on December 7, 2025.
The identity of his successor has not yet been confirmed.
