Brahmanbaria Sadar Police Station’s Officer-in-Charge (OC) Mozzafar Hossain has been withdrawn and attached to the district police lines after controversy over a Facebook post from his account.

The post, published Tuesday, wished success to Chhatra Dal’s DUCSU panel, referencing their ballot numbers: “Best wishes for the talented ones—21, 17, 08.”

Government officials noted that political endorsement by civil servants is prohibited. Although the post was deleted within hours, it sparked widespread debate.

Mozzafar later claimed his account had been hacked and that he was not responsible for the post. He said he had filed a general diary and informed higher authorities, promising legal action.
