Police personnel have been urged to remain vigilant against fraudulent activities related to transfer within the force.
The Police Headquarters issued a press release on Saturday, August 31, highlighting the issue.
AIG (Media and PR) Inamul Haque Sagar from the Police Headquarters stated that a group of scammers has been allegedly extorting money from policemen by threatening them with transfers to various units.
He emphasized the need for all police members to be cautious and avoid falling prey to such schemes. In response, the police have launched special operations aimed at apprehending the fraudsters involved.
However, sources indicate that the police have not yet fully resumed their regular operations. There has been a noticeable decrease in search drives and patrols, leading to a rise in incidents of theft and mugging. Despite this, reports suggest that police stations are registering very few cases of mugging. Most of the General Diaries (GDs) filed since August 5 have been related to theft rather than other criminal activities.
The Police Headquarters’ press release serves as a reminder for law enforcement officers to remain on high alert and to report any suspicious activities related to postings. The ongoing special operations are expected to intensify in the coming days as efforts to combat these fraudulent activities continue.
