Three police officers from Gazipur Metropolitan’s Konabari area have been withdrawn following allegations of abducting, assaulting, and extorting money from a businessman. The officers—ASI Azizul Haque, constables Nazmul Hossain, and Mamun Hossain—were attached to the police lines after the complaint. The alleged incident occurred on Monday night when businessman Delwar Hossain was forcibly taken from the Baimaile area, beaten, and threatened with a false drug case before being robbed of 28,400 taka.

According to the written complaint, another youth named Sifat was also detained and intimidated for having an online gambling app on his phone. Police allegedly took additional money from Delwar’s mobile account and later returned only a small portion. Delwar filed a formal complaint the next day seeking investigation and recovery of the extorted funds. ASI Azizul Haque denied all allegations, while Sifat confirmed the incident but declined to elaborate.

Assistant Police Commissioner Abu Naser Al-Amin stated that the accused officers were withdrawn pending investigation and that further legal action would follow based on the findings.
