Cumilla district police have transferred Debidwar Police Station Officer-in-Charge (OC) Golam Sarwar in the public interest following a report published in the daily Amar Desh. The report, titled 'Student arrested claiming to be a Swechchhasebak League leader,' drew attention ahead of the upcoming national parliamentary election. According to an order signed by Cumilla Superintendent of Police Anisuzzaman on Thursday, Sarwar has been attached to the district police lines, while Mohammad Moniruzzaman, officer-in-charge of Kotbari outpost in Cumilla Sadar, has been appointed as the new OC of Debidwar. The order takes immediate effect. Earlier, Golam Sarwar had joined Debidwar Police Station on December 8 of the previous year after a divisional reshuffle of all OCs in Chattogram Division through a lottery signed by Additional DIG Ahsan Habib. The transfer follows public criticism after student Nazmul Hasan, who participated in an anti-discrimination movement, was arrested on December 13 from his father’s grocery shop and later sent to jail in a sabotage case. Local movement representatives and residents condemned the incident. The transfer decision appears linked to maintaining administrative neutrality before the national election, as indicated in the official order.
