The DB chief's post was empty for almost a month after 5 August last year following the ouster of the Awami League government in a mass uprising.
Recently, the DB came under severe criticism after detaining former Miss Earth Bangladesh winner and model Meghna Alam from her home on 10 April over unclear charges.
Rezaul, a member of the 17th batch of Bangladesh Civil Service (Police), was made the DB chief on 1 September last year.
He joined the Bangladesh Police in 1998.
Before becoming the DB chief, Rezaul played various roles within the police force, including the Criminal Investigation Department (CID).
