Two policemen were arrested while robbing Mirzapur of Tangail on the Dhaka-Tangail highway. The two policemen are Ripon Rajbanshi (28) (BP-9615181097) son of Kaila Rajbanshi of Mirikpur village in Basail upazila of Tangail district and Md. Mohsin Mia (31) (BP-9211145212) son of Moynal Haque of Kodalia village in Chauhali upazila of Sirajganj. Both of them are working at Daulatpur police station in Manikganj. Manikganj District Superintendent of Police Mohammad Golam Azad Khan suspended the two policemen in this incident last Monday night.
Locals held the policemen while robbing in the Dherua area of Mirzapur upazila on the Dhaka-Tangail highway last Sunday night. They were later handed over to the Deohata police outpost on the highway. That same night, Rana (31), a pickup driver of Madhupur upazila, filed a case against the two policemen. Case No. 31 dated 25.03.24. Tangail court inspector Tanveer Ahmed said that two policemen were sent to the senior judicial court on Monday with a 7-day remand application in this case. Later, Judge Monirul Islam granted a two-day remand. They are currently in remand at Mirzapur police station. Mirzapur police station officer-in-charge (OC) Md Rezaul Karim said they were dressed as two policemen. They have been remanded for two days.
Manikganj Superintendent of Police Mohammad Golam Azad Khan was repeatedly contacted on the mobile phone but he did not receive a reply.
It is to be noted that, in the name of police search, various traders including truck drivers, motorcycle drivers, and pickup drivers are constantly robbed by policemen at several points on the highway from Mirzapur to Dherua at night. As a result, traffic on the highway has become unsafe. On Monday night, March 11, a fish merchant named Gopal Rajvanshi was robbed of Tk56,000 in the identity of the police. He complained to the Mirzapur police station about the robbery, but his money was not recovered.
