Around 10:00 pm on Thursday, police produced her before the Chief Metropolitan Magistrate's Court in Dhaka, which ordered her to be sent to jail.
The transfer order was signed by DMP Commissioner Sheikh Mohammad Sajjat Ali. It said that Additional Commissioner (Detective) Rezaul Karim Mallick has been attached to the DMP headquarters.
The order said Rezaul has been transferred in the interest of administrative purposes until further notice.
It also said the order would come into effect immediately.
