Departmental actions are being taken against the police personnel who have yet to report for duty since the fall of Awami League-government on August 5, according to the Police Headquarters.
Their salaries have been stopped, and they are being sued to take legal action against them, Inamul Haque Sagar, additional inspector general (media and PR) at the Police Headquarters, told Jago News on Saturday.
A separate team has been formed by the police to apprehend the absentee police personnel, he said, adding that their passports are being scrapped so that they cannot flee the country.
According to the Police Headquarters, 187 officers have yet to report for duty.
Besides, IGP also instructed field-level officers to properly investigate cases filed after August 5 to ensure no innocent person is harassed.
If a case is filed against an innocent person, steps should be taken to withdraw it through the proper legal process.
The IGP instructed metropolitan police commissioners, Range DIGs, and district SPs to hold regular exchange meetings with their forces to boost morale.
The police chief issued these directives to senior police officers while presiding over a meeting on the country’s overall law and order and security at the Police Headquarters on Saturday.
