ASI suspended for extortion
Barisal Airport Police Station Assistant Sub-inspector Md Rehanuddin was suspended yesterday on charges of extorting two people and assaulting them in Barisal city on Monday.
The order came following a probe report submitted by Barisal Metropolitan Police Assistant Police Commissioner Azadur Rahaman, said Assistant Commissioner Abu Sayed.
Rehanuddin planted some Yaba tablets in the pockets of two traders Mokshed and Salauddin and brought them out while the two were having food at a restaurant, he said, citing the probe report. Later, the ASI tortured them, demanded Tk 50,000 and threatened to show them arrested with the illegal drugs, Sayed added.
The duo paid him Tk 11,000 in cash instantly and promised to pay the remaining money later.
