Natore, Feb 21 - The Officer-in-Charge (OC) of Baraigram Police Station in Natore, Sirajul Islam, has been closed and attached to the police line due to administrative reasons, including negligence in handling a robbery and harassment of two female passengers on a Dhaka-Rajshahi night coach and failure to inform higher authorities.

The information was confirmed by Dr. Mohammad Shahjahan, Deputy Inspector General (DIG) of Rajshahi Range.

In the evening, the DIG visited Baraigram Police Station, and shortly after, OC Sirajul Islam was closed.
