Policeman suspended for 'yaba business'

A sub-inspector of Bakolia police station was suspended on Tuesday over recovery of yaba tablets from his house in Paschim Bakalia area in the city, reports UNB.

The punitive action was taken against SI Khandaker Saifuddin in the night, deputy police commissioner SM Mostain Hossain said.

Besides, a three-member probe committee, headed by Nobel Chakma, assistant commissioner of Chawkbazar zone, was formed to investigate the matter.

Earlier on Tuesday morning, members of Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) arrested Nazim Uddin Millat, 30, along with 15,000 yaba tablets from a rented house owned by sub-inspector Khandaker Saifuddin in Paschim Bakalia area of the city.

However, Saifuddin was not present at his house during the raid. He rented the house in Hafeznagar for Yaba trading, said the Rab official.
