Staff Correspondent
Even a deputy inspector general's son had to bribe cops to get released from custody after he had been detained, allegedly for possessing drugs, police said.
Rakibur Rahman, son of DIG Shafiqur Rahman, was picked up from Hatirjheel area by Sub-inspector Farman Ali and Assistant Sub-inspector Abul Kalam Azad of Tejgaon Police Station few days before Eid-ul-Azha.
Threatening Rakibur with implicating him in a drug case, the duo allegedly demanded Tk 40,000 from his family for his release. The boy gave the identity of his father but it did not work.

police tried to conceal it, sources said.
Following complaint from the boy, a primary investigation found the cops' involvement in the matter. Later, the duo were closed on October 9 and transferred to Razarbagh Police Lines, Wahidul Islam, additional deputy commissioner of Dhaka Metropolitan Police (Tejgaon Division) told The Daily Star yesterday.
"We are conducting a full investigation into the incident. If found guilty, departmental action will be taken against them," he said.
When the boy was in custody, his father, who is currently posted in Tourist Police, was a commissioner of Khulna Metropolitan Police, said police.
The cops disregarded the claim saying people usually say they have connections with high-ups when they are detained.
Later, Rakibur's family had to bribe the cops for his release.
Yesterday, DIG Shafiqur told The Daily Star that the duo had taken Tk 40,000 from his son and that his son had filed a complaint with the DC of Tejgaon division.
He asked this correspondent to contact with the police officials of Tejgaon Division for details.
Contacted, SI Farman declined to comment.
