Dr Rakib's death: Khulna Sadar OC withdrawn

Aslam Bahar Bulbul, Officer-in-Charge (OC) of Khulna Sadar Police Station has been withdrawn over the death of Dr Abdur Rakib Khan.

He was closed to Police Lines of Khulna Metropolitan Police (KMP) on Sunday noon.

Alongside, Ashraful Alam, Officer-in-Charge (OC) of the city’s Harintana Police Station, has been appointed as OC to the sadar police station.

KMP spokesperson deputy commissioner Sheikh Moniruzzaman Mithu confirmed the news.

Earlier on June 18, doctors in Khulna gave a 72-hr ultimatum to authorities concerned demanding withdrawal of Sadar Police Station's officer-in-charge and arrest of all responsible for the death of Dr Abdur Rakib Khan.

The doctors demanded withdrawal of OC Aslam Bahar Bulbul because he delayed the recording of the murder case.

Saiful, younger brother of Dr Rakib, filed the case with Khulna Sadar Police Station against eight people naming four accused.

Dr Abdur Rakib Khan (59) who was assaulted by a patient's family members on Monday night over the allegation of wrong treatment which led to her death, passed away while undergoing treatment at a hospital in Khulna on Tuesday.

Rakib Khan was the director of Raisa Clinic and Diagnostic Centre in Khulna and principal of Bagerhat Medical Assistants' Training School.
