Trolls over NCP leaders escape in Gopalganj, ASP withdraws for Anti-Discrimination Students Mob

Staff Correspondent | July 17, 2025

Dinajpur Additional Superintendent of Police (Traffic) Mosfequr Rahman has been withdrawn after he made a troll post on Facebook alleging that an NCP rally in Gopalganj was chased and they fled in an army APC.

The leaders and activists of the Anti-Discrimination Students’ Movement claimed that ASP Mosfequr Rahman had made a Facebook post alluding to the incident. In the face of their protests, ASP Mosfequr Rahman was withdrawn.

At 8:30 pm last night, the Baishah activists staged a mob protest in front of the main gate of the Dinajpur Police Superintendent’s office demanding his arrest. At 6:30 pm, ASP Mosfequr posted a post from his own Facebook ID. In it, he wrote: ‘I heard that the AC in the tank is very comfortable.’

Vaishna leaders and activists claim that his post indicates that he joined the APC after being chased by NCP leaders in Gopalganj.

In light of this, the Baisa mob took position in front of the main gate of the Superintendent of Police Office, calling ASP Mosfequr an Awami League ally and demanding his withdrawal from Dinajpur and arrest.

Later, Superintendent of Police Marufat Hossain accepted the mob’s demand and assured them that Additional Superintendent of Police Mosfequr Rahman has been withdrawn from Dinajpur. However, some activists said that the mob would continue its activities until he is arrested.

Baishar District Committee Convener Ekramul Haque Abir claims that during the July riots, shots were fired at Baishar workers on the orders of ASP Mosfequr Rahman. Since then, he has been working in Dinajpur. He has been harassing Baishar workers at the Awami League shelter.

Abir claims that ASP Mosfequr trolled and posted on Facebook about the incident of chasing NCP leaders in Gopalganj.

The Baisah leaders demand that they be withdrawn from Dinajpur and a case filed against ASP Mosfequr and arrested. They will remain on the streets until their demands are met.

In this regard, Superintendent of Police Marufat Hossain said that after seeing the post in the afternoon, steps were taken to withdraw it after talking to higher authorities.
