Kazi Moniruzzaman's prolonged absence was deemed as misconduct and absconding.
The suspension order will be effective from the date of his last working day.
The interim government has also withdrawn police medals from 40 senior police officers who have reportedly absconded from their workplaces.
A separate circular from the home ministry states that these officers will no longer receive any financial benefits associated with the medals and are required to return those already received.
