The OCs of Shailkupa police station of Jhenaidah and Harinakunda police station of Jashore have been withdrawn due to allegations of negligence.

Election Commission (EC) Additional Secretary Ashok Kumar Debnath on Saturday said that in a press conference held at the Election Commission office in the city's Agargaon.

"They were withdrawn as their laxity has been proven beyond the reasonable doubt. We have given show-cause notices to many as we received allegation reports against them. We will take action according to the recommendations of the inquiry team," he said.

While replying to the queries of journalists, he also said, "Appropriate measures will be taken against officers not doing their duties properly. Also, if any kind of complaint comes to the Election Commission, or if any evidence related to negligence in duty is found, action will be taken after proper investigation."
