Cops involved with drug dealing will be punished: DMP chief
Any policeman found involved in drug dealing, patronising or helping narcotics traders will be given exemplary punishment, Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) Commissioner Asaduzzaman Mia said yesterday.
“We have taken a tough stance against drugs. If we find any drug den in the city, we will bulldoze it,” Asaduzzaman said after inaugurating a closed-circuit camera control room and 'Police Service Week 2019' in the city's Aftabnagar.
He said drug dens from Karail slum and Karwan Bazar had been rooted out.
About the CC cameras, he said the technology has played a vital role in preventing crimes. “Crime rates in Gulshan, Banani and Baridhara came down to zero after the installation of CC cameras,” the DMP commissioner said.
A hundred CC cameras have been installed in Aftabnagar, he said.
The DMP commissioner also urged the people to contact senior officers if they are harassed at police stations or do not get service from police. He asked policemen to serve the people, saying, “If you cannot do your duties, leave it. Others will take care of it.”
