Former Additional Deputy Commissioner (ADC) of Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) Sanjida Afrin has been temporarily suspended, according to the Ministry of Home Affairs.
She is currently serving in the Armed Police Battalion (APBn).
According to a notification of the ministry, Sanjida was suspended under the Government Service Rules Act.
During this period, she will be attached to the Barishal Range and will receive subsistence allowance in accordance to government regulations.
Detective Branch (DB) inspector Jahangir Arif made a report clearing former Law Minister Anisul Huq, former Private Sector and Investment Advisor to ousted Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, Salman F Rahman, and former Director General of the National Telecommunication Monitoring Centre (NTMC), Major General (retd) Ziaul Ahsan, in two murder cases during the July-August student uprising.
The report, however, became public before being submitted to the court.
Inspector Jahangir Arif has since been temporarily suspended. During internal inquiries, Arif reportedly claimed that he acted on the instructions of ADC Sanjida Afrin.
