Although former Cox s Bazar superintendent of police ABM Masud Hossain was named in the charge sheet filed over the murder of Major (retd) Sinha Md Rashed Khan, he was not formally charged for the murder. The investigation officer scrutinised the evidence and recommended that departmental action be taken against SP Masud, said Lt Col Ashiq Billah, director of Rapid Action Battalion s legal and media wing, at a press conference held at Rab s media centre yesterday. The officer found him [Masud] to be negligent in his duties and unprofessional. He did not visit the spot when former officer-in-charge of Teknaf Police Station Pradeep Kumar Das called him to report Sinha s death, which he should have; nor did he ensure emergency medical attention for Maj (retd) Sinha, said Billah.

Days before Maj (retd) Sinha Rashed Khan was murdered on July 31, then officer-in-charge of Teknaf Police Station Pradeep Kumar Das had threatened to destroy him unless he left the area. While filming for his YouTube channel, Sinha independently looked into drug trade in Teknaf and found its links with Pradeep, Lt Col Ashiq Billah, director of Rab s legal and media wing, told a press conference yesterday. Sinha was a friendly person and people opened up to him, telling him how the OC oppressed and used them for the drug trade. Upon finding such allegations, he went to meet Pradeep at the Teknaf Police Station in mid-July, he said.
