Shariatpur DC made OSD 

Shariatpur Deputy Commissioner (DC) Mohammad Ashraf Uddin has been made an officer on special duty (OSD) after a video surfaced online showing him in a ‘compromising situation with a woman’.

The Ministry of Public Administration issued an official notification regarding the decision on Saturday.
However, the notification did not state any reason for the move.

The action comes just a day after a 57-second video was shared on social media by a journalist based overseas. 

The video alleges that Ashraf Uddin had made a promise of marriage to the woman featured in the footage.
Mohammad Ashraf Uddin, an officer of 27th BCS (Bangladesh Civil Service) Administration cadre, took charge as DC of Shariatpur on November 2, 2024.

This incident has drawn comparisons to a similar case in 2019, when a video involving the then Deputy Commissioner of Jamalpur, Ahmed Kabir, and a female office assistant went viral.
