Two OCs withdrawn in Jhenaidah for duty negligence

The officer-in-charge (OC) of Jhenaidah's Shailkupa and Harinakunda Police Stations have been withdrawn over their negligence in performing their duties.

The decision was taken after the allegation against the two OCs were found to be true. Election Commission (EC) Additional Secretary Ashok Kumar Debnath informed the matter to the reporters at Agargaon Nirbachan Bhabn in the capital on Saturday afternoon.

The EC secretary said, "This is not a ubiquitous situation. There are some isolated incidents that are being dealt with through appropriate steps."

The commission has taken this action after receiving the investigation reports from the deputy commissioner (DC) and the superintendent of police (SP) of the Jhenaidah district.

Ashok Kumar Debnath said, “Any complaint that comes to the Election Commission, the evidence of the complaint will be sent to the concerned returning officer and SP through any means, action will be taken according to their investigation reports."
