The officer-in-charge of Sadar Police Station in Khulna was withdrawn on Sunday over the death of Dr Abdur Rakib Khan.

An order was issued in the morning over the withdrawal of OC Aslam Bahar Bulbul.

Earlier on Thursday, doctors in Khulna gave a 72-hr ultimatum to authorities concerned demanding withdrawal of Sadar Police Station’s officer-in-charge and arrest of all responsible for the death of Dr Abdur Rakib Khan.

The doctors demanded withdrawal of OC Aslam Bahar Bulbul because he delayed the recording of the murder case and filed it 36hrs after the death of Rakib, said Dr Sheikh Baharul Alam, president of Bangladesh Medical Association (BMA) of Khulna district unit.

Police have arrested six people so far, including the main accused in the murder case of Dr Rakib.

Saiful, younger brother of Dr Rakib, filed the case with Khulna Sadar Police Station against eight people naming four accused.

Dr Abdur Rakib Khan (59) who was assaulted by a patient’s family members on Monday night over the allegation of wrong treatment which led to her death, passed away while undergoing treatment at a hospital in Khulna on Tuesday.

Rakib Khan was the director of Raisa Clinic and Diagnostic Centre in Khulna and principal of Bagerhat Medical Assistants’ Training School.
