The officer-in-charge (OC) of Narail Sadar police station has been stand-released due to negligence in duty over the humiliation of a teacher of Mirzapur United Degree College in Narail.
OC Shawkat Kabir has been attached to the Range Reserve Force in Khulna, said Superintendent of Police (SP) Prabir Kumar Roy on Sunday.
On June 18, a Hindu student of Mirzapur United Degree College made a post on Facebook supporting suspended BJP spokesperson Nupur Sharma.
There was day-long unrest in the college over the post and rumours that acting principal Swapan Kumar Biswas had sided with the student, following which police escorted him out of the campus.
At one stage, a group of people forced him to wear a garland of shoes.
A video of the incident also went viral on social media that sparked huge criticism.
