DIG Mizanur Rahman withdrawn

Staff Correspondent: Deputy Inspector General (DIG) Mizanur Rahman has been withdrawn from  the Dhaka Metropolitan Police over allegations of abducting a woman and later marrying her forcefully.

Following the withdrawal order on Tuesday, the police officer has been attached to the police headquarters.

Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan told the media at Rajarbag on Tuesday that an inquiry has been opened.

Officer Mizan allegedly picked up one Morium Akter Eko from her Panthapath residence on July 15 last year and married her.

Mizanur called her mother Queen Talukder on the phone and asked her to come to Dhaka from Bogra. Morium was kept confined to the house until her mother arrived on July 17.

At one stage, Mizanur married Morium with Tk 50 lakh as alimony, said Morium. Some days later, he rented a separate house in Lalmatia.

Morium alleged that Mizanur later started torturing her and pressurised for divorce. As the family tried to collect the copy of the marriage certificate, a case was filed with Ramna Police Station accusing her of ransacking his house. Police arrested Morium on December 12.

Morium alleged that she was framed in the false case in which she had been in jail for three weeks. She received bail a week ago.
