Home Minister Salahuddin Ahmed today said the former Officer-in-Charge (OC) of Cantonment Police Station is facing an 
investigation and departmental proceedings over a viral incident. 
 
Speaking to reporters at his ministry in the Bangladesh Secretariat here, the home minister said the former OC had been investigated and forensic examinations had also been conducted in connection with the incident.

"In a viral incident, an investigation and forensic examination were conducted against the former OC of Cantonment Police Station. One or two agencies carried out the investigation," Ahmed said.

He said a case had been filed against the former police officer and departmental proceedings were underway.

The former OC had also been accused in a sedition case involving an alleged criminal offence and had been arrested, the minister continued.

Ahmed said the transfer of an officer does not necessarily mark the end of disciplinary action.

"Transfers are made for administrative reasons, negligence of duty, or when involvement in something is found. But the transfer is not the last step. Departmental proceedings are being initiated against them after the transfer," he added.
