Gulshan Police Station chief (OC) Md Daud Hossain has been removed from his post five days after a flash march by leaders and activists of the Awami League and its affiliated organisations, whose activities are banned.
The decision was announced in an office order issued by Dhaka Metropolitan Police Headquarters on Wednesday.
According to the order, Daud was recalled for “administrative reasons” and attached to the Central Reserve Office of the DMP's administration division.
The move comes five days after Awami League leaders and activists staged a flash march in Gulshan on Sept 11.
Crude bombs were detonated during the incident and police fired rubber bullets to disperse the participants.
According to police, around 150 to 200 people gathered in an alley off Road 3 in Gulshan around 11:45am and attempted to bring out a procession.
When police moved to disperse them, the marchers threw crude bombs at the officers, police said.
Police then fired two rounds of rubber bullets to break up the procession.
Five unexploded crude bombs were recovered from the scene.
A case was filed with Gulshan Police Station under the Anti-Terrorism Act over the incident.
The case names 118 people and includes another 80 to 100 unidentified suspects.
Police said 83 people had been arrested in the case as of Sept 14. Of them, 24 had been placed on remand.
