Maj Sadequl’s wife in custody over Bashundhara ‘secret’ meeting

Police say they have taken Sumaiya Zafrin, wife of Maj Sadequl Hoque, into the custody of the Detective Branch over an “conspiratorial secret meeting” in Dhaka’s Bashundhara.

The Army has already formed a court of inquiry against Sadequl, accusing him of training members of the Awami League.

Dhaka Metropolitan Police confirmed the detention in a statement on Wednesday.

Sumaiya’s name had recently surfaced on social media, with some posts claiming she held the rank of assistant superintendent of police (ASP).

On Aug 2, the Police Headquarters clarified that they had no ASP under that name.
