In a notification issued on Thursday, the home ministry said the decision was taken in line with the Public Service Act as Faruque had already completed 25 years of service. A government official is eligible for retirement after 25 years of service as per section 44 of the Act. The CID is currently investigating the highly-publicised cases against actress Pori Moni, model Faria Mahbub Piasha, and businesswoman Helena Jahangir. "Not only these, but sir (Faruque) supervises all the cases that come to the CID," an additional superintendent of police, working at the department, told bdnews24.com. A similar order was issued to send Superintendent of Police Mohammed Abdur Rahim to retirement as well.
