Mohammad Mahbub Alam Khan, an accused in multiple abduction and murder cases, has been appointed as the Superintendent of Police (SP) of Feni district. The appointment was made on Tuesday as part of a reshuffle involving SP positions in 12 districts. The decision has sparked public outrage and raised questions about administrative transparency and the current government's stance.

According to the report, Mahbub Alam Khan is named in cases related to the disappearance of two brothers of a former student leader in Chapainawabganj, with allegations of extortion and enforced disappearance. He previously served as Additional SP in Chapainawabganj during the 2024 student and public uprising, where he allegedly took an armed role against protesters. After the fall of the Awami League government on August 5, three murder cases were filed against him, two of which still list him as a named accused.

Observers have expressed concern that appointing such a controversial officer to a politically sensitive district like Feni could pose a serious threat to public safety. Neither Mahbub Alam nor the authorities have commented on the matter.
