Two Sub Inspectors of Sadar thana were closed to the district Police Lines for negligence of duty Friday night following missing of a licensed gun from its storeroom. The matter came to the notice when new acting officer-in-charge Humayun Kabir went to the storeroom while taking charge on November 6. The two closed Sub Inspectors were identified as Mofazzal Hossain and Shamsul Huda.

Thana sources said the gun was licensed in the name of district Jubo Dal President and Shat Gambuj UP Chairman Fakir Tariqul Islam. His wife deposited the licensed gun and nine rounds of bullet after joint force arrested Tariqul on charge of extortion, corruption and terrorist activities on February 9.

A three-member committee, headed by Additional Police Super Mirajuddin Ahmed, has been formed to investigate the matter. The committee has been asked to submit its report within next three days.
