The home ministry-formed high-powered investigation committee on Wednesday questioned suspended officer-in-charge (OC) of Teknaf police Pradeep Kumar Das at Cox's Bazar jail gate.

The inquiry committee, led by its chief Mizanur Rahman, entered the jail around 10:45am for questioning Pradeep.

On Tuesday afternoon, he was sent to jail after his remand was over for the fourth time.

Meanwhile, three witnesses in a case filed by the police over Major (Retd) Mohammad Rashed Khan murder have been put on a fresh three-day remand for the third time.

On Tuesday, Cox's Bazar Senior Judicial Magistrate Tamanna Farah passed the remand order.
