A student activist died while in the custody of the District Detective Branch (DB) police in Madhukhali, Faridpur, Bangladesh. Following the death, the Officer-in-Charge (OC) of the Faridpur Sadar Zone DB, Syed Md. Alamgir Hossain, has been withdrawn from his position. The removal was announced via an official order signed by Faridpur’s Superintendent of Police, Nazrul Islam, on Tuesday. The order cites “administrative reasons” for the transfer. Further details surrounding the activist’s death and the circumstances leading to it have not been immediately released. The incident has prompted an internal investigation into the matter, and the withdrawn OC’s future assignment remains unclear. This event raises concerns regarding police accountability and custodial practices within the region.
