Ritesh Chakma appointed new jailer of Kashimpur Jail
Ritesh Chakma has been appointed as the new jailer of Kashimpur Central Jail-1 in Gazipur.
Earlier, he served as the jailer of Magura district jail.
The order was issued in a circular signed by Inspector General (IG) of Prisons Brig.-Gen Mominur Rahman Mamun on Sunday, reports Somoy News.
Senior jail super Ratna Roy and jailer Nur Mohammad Mridha were withdrawn from Kashimpur Central Jail-1 on Sunday over allowing a prisoner to spend time alone with a woman inside the prison premises, violating the regulations.
Hallmark Group's General Manager Tushar Ahmed, brother-in-law of the company's Managing Director Tanvir Mahmud, reportedly met the woman inside the office a prison official on 6 January.
A private TV channel published a report on Friday using CCTV footage of Tushar and the woman taken from inside the jail on 6 January, and it became the topic of heated discussions among people across the country almost immediately.
Five officials of the jail have been withdrawn in connection with the incident.
