CID addl DIG Sheikh Omar sent to retirement

The government has sent Sheikh Omar Faruque, additional deputy inspector general of the Criminal Investigation Department police, to retirement.

He was the investigation supervising officer of the cases against actress Pori Moni, models Piasha and Mou, and politician Helena Jahangir.

The Public Security Division of the Home Ministry on Thursday issued a gazette notification in this regard. It said that Sheikh Omar Faruque was sent on retirement following Section 57 of the Public Service Act (2018) as he has completed 25 years in the service.

Pori Moni was arrested on Aug 4 following a raid by RAB on her Banani residence. A case was filed against her under the Narcotics Act the following day. Following the High Court intervention, a Dhaka court finally granted bail to the actress on Tuesday and she walked out of jail the following day.
