Senior Jail Superintendent of Kashimpur Central Jail-1 Ratna Roy and Jailer Nur Mohammad have been withdrawn for violating the prison rules and regulations.

With this, a total of five prison officials were withdrawn for providing special treatment to a convicted prisoner Hallmark Group's GM Tushar Ahmed.

Inspector General (IG) of Prisons Brigadier General Md Mominur Rahman Mamun confirmed the matter to Banglanews on Sunday noon. 

He said the five officials were attached to the Prisons Headquarters. 

Earlier on January 18, Deputy Jail Super Mohammad Saqlain, Sergeant Abdul Bari and assistant chief prison guard Kholilur Rahman were removed over the incident.

CCTV footage of the incident showed on January 06, prisoner Tushar, brother-in-law of Hallmark MD Tanvir Mahmud, met a woman in the cabin of a prison official for about 46 minutes.

The woman was allegedly escorted to the cabin of a prison official by Deputy Jailer of Kashimpur Central Jail-1 Md Golam Saqlain, and two others. Senior Jail Super Ratna Roy was also present at her office during the time.
