A Chittagong Metropolitan Police (CMP) officer, Jahidul Islam, has been transferred from his position as Officer-in-Charge (OC) of Pahartali Model Police Station following accusations of a ‘honey trap’ and blackmail involving a former CMP commissioner. The transfer order, signed by CMP Commissioner Hasan Mohammad Shawkat Ali on August 23rd, moves OC Jahidul Islam to City Special Branch (SB). Mozammel Haque, previously the OC of Khulshi Police Station, has been appointed to replace him. The allegations suggest the former commissioner was targeted in a blackmail scheme utilizing a ‘honey trap’. Further details regarding the case and potential involvement of the Counter Terrorism Unit remain undisclosed. The swift action by the CMP commissioner indicates a serious response to the accusations and a commitment to maintaining integrity within the police force. This transfer is part of an ongoing investigation into the matter.
