The government has sent Sheikh Omar Faruque, additional DIG of the police's Criminal Investigation Department, to retirement.
In a notification issued on Thursday, the home ministry said the decision was taken in line with the Public Service Act as Faruque had already completed 25 years of service.
A government official is eligible for retirement after 25 years of service as per section 44 of the Act, reports bdnews24.com.
However, in Faruque's case, section 45 of the legislation was applied. The provision stipulates that the government may, in the public interest, send a public servant into retirement at any time after the completion of 25 years of service, without providing any reason, if it deems it necessary.
The reasons for Faruque's departure remain unknown.
A similar order was issued to send Superintendent of Police Mohammed Abdur Rahim to retirement as well.
Abdur Rahim was serving as the commander of Khagrachhari's 6th Armed Police Battalion.
