DHAKA, Mar 03, 2025 (BSS) – The government overnight suspended a former Superintendent of Police (SP), faced with several charges under Prevention of Money Laundering Act, 2012 (PMLA) .

 Home Ministry’s Public Security Division in a statement said the suspension of former SP of Faridpur district Subhash Chandra Saha would come into effect from December 24, 2017.

The ministry’s Senior Secretary Nasimul Gani last night signed the order saying he was suspended from government service in the public interest as per the provisions of section 57 of the Public Service Act, 2018.

 “During his suspension, Subhash will be attached to the Range DIG Office, Sylhet and will receive subsistence allowance as per rules,” it said.

The statement said Saha, however, secured bail from a court on December 24, 2017 as a case filed with Dhaka’s Bangshal Police Station October 24, 2017.

He was indicted on July 16, 2024 under section-4 (2) and 4(3) of the PMLA following the submission of the charge sheet on December 17, 2023.

The Supreme Court’s High Court Division stayed the proceedings on August 20, 2024 for subsequent six months but did not quash the case.
