DHAKA: The deputy commissioner of Jamalpur has been withdrawn on charge of sexual activities with a subordinate female staff at office.
Ahmed Kabir, also the district magistrate, has been transferred to the public administration ministry as an 'officer on special duty'.
Mohammad Enamul Haque, personal secretary (PS) to the planning minister, has been made DC of Jamalpur.
The public administration ministry issued the orders Sunday (August 25).
The woman staff, who was seen in a 4:57 minute viral video of intimacy with Ahmed Kabir at his closet, has been identified as a peon of the DC.
The public administration ministry ran an initial investigation into the matter as the video sparked widespread criticism.
However, the cabinet division is running another investigation, said Additional Secretary Gaffar Khan.
