The Officer-in-Charge (OC) of Brahmanbaria Sadar Model Police Station, Mozzafar Hossain, has been withdrawn and attached to the district police lines following a social media controversy.

Earlier, a post from his personal Facebook account appeared to endorse candidates backed by the Bangladesh Chhatra Dal (student wing of BNP) in the upcoming DUCSU election. The post read: “Best wishes for the talented ones. 21, 17, 08”—numbers corresponding to the ballot positions of the Chhatra Dal’s VP, GS, and AGS nominees.

Although the post was deleted within hours, it stirred widespread criticism since government officials are legally prohibited from political involvement or partisan expression.

Hossain later claimed that his Facebook account had been hacked and that he had already lodged a general diary with authorities. He assured that legal steps would be taken against the alleged hacker.
