A police sub-inspector in Dhunot, Bogura, has been withdrawn after an audio clip of him allegedly making indecent proposals to a migrant worker’s wife went viral on social media. The officer, identified as Mostafizar Rahman, was attached to the police lines following the incident. The audio spread after local journalists obtained recordings made by the woman, who had documented the officer’s inappropriate phone conversations.

According to local and police sources, the woman’s husband had gone to Saudi Arabia about six months earlier through two local brokers who took six lakh taka from his parents but failed to provide him with work. When the migrant’s mother complained to police about the brokers, Mostafizar Rahman was assigned to investigate. During the inquiry, he allegedly took money from the accused brokers and made repeated indecent advances toward the complainant’s daughter-in-law.

Bogura’s superintendent of police took the matter seriously and ordered the officer’s withdrawal. The Dhunot police officer-in-charge confirmed that higher authorities would take action under police service regulations.
