IGP warns police of strict action against misconduct

Inspector General of Police (IGP) Md. Ali Hossain Fakir has
issued a strong warning that no member of the Bangladesh Police will be spared
if found involved in criminal offences, reaffirming a zero-tolerance policy and
commitment to accountability within the force.
"Any police member found
guilty of a crime will face proper legal action. No concession will be
given," he said.
He made these remarks today (11
April) while speaking as the chief guest at the IGP Scholarship-2025 award
ceremony held today at the Bangladesh Retired Police Officers Welfare
Association Complex in Rajarbagh.
The IGP said Bangladesh Police is determined to rebuild public trust and
"will rise again."
He also announced that every Sadar
Police Station across the country has been declared a 'Zero Complaint' police
station, aiming to ensure improved public service and accountability at the
thana level.
Encouraging students to contribute
to the nation, he urged them to pursue knowledge alongside a commitment to
public welfare. "You must learn the law, respect it, and develop a mindset
to serve society selflessly. Together, we must build a better Bangladesh,"
he said.
The programme was presided over by
Dr M Akbar Ali, President of the Bangladesh Retired Police Officers Welfare
Association. At the same time, Kimiya Saadat, managing director (current
charge) of Community Bank PLC, attended as special guest.
The IGP also expressed gratitude to retired police officers and suggested
taking income-generating initiatives alongside providing scholarships for
students.
During the event, students shared their views on "What kind of police they
want," emphasising the need for a friendly, people-oriented police force
that balances law enforcement with humane behaviour.
A total of 400 meritorious students
who achieved GPA-5 in the SSC and HSC examinations in 2025 at police-run
educational institutions were awarded scholarships funded by the CSR
contributions of Community Bank Bangladesh PLC.
Among them, 100 students from
Rajarbagh Police Lines School and College, Shaheed Police Smrity College, and
APBN School and College received scholarships, crests, and certificates at the
programme, while the remaining recipients will receive theirs through
respective police offices.
