Harun made Narayanganj SP

Hours after the election commission's clearance, the home ministry on Sunday appointed deputy commissioner of Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) Harun-Ur-Rashid as the superintendent of police for Narayanganj district, reports UNB.

The EC in a letter gave 'no objection' to a proposal of the public security division under the ministry for posting ex-Gazipur SP Harun to Narayanganj.

Earlier on Wednesday, the commission asked the public security division to withdraw Narayanganj SP Anisur Rahman following a demand from the BNP-led 20 party alliance.

The ministry, however, attached Anisur Rahman with the police headquarters as assistant inspector general (AIG).

On 25 November, the 20-party alliance placed a written demand for removal of the Narayanganj SP saying they are in doubt whether he would discharge the election duty neutrally as his wife Fatema Tuzzahura is a member of parliament from the reserved seat.
