“An allegation has been received against Jahangir Alam. Based on the complaint, his official and personal mobile phones have been seized and kept in police custody,” he said.
Asked about rumours that Jahangir Alam had been in contact with leaders and activists of a banned organisation, the DIG said, “I cannot comment on that at this moment.”
Asked what specific allegation had been made against the officer, Abdul Quddus gave no details, saying the matter was under investigation.
“We have seized the two phones after receiving the complaint. We are investigating the matter, but I do not want to comment further at this stage,” he said.
