DMP releases suspect’s photo, seeks help from public to identify him
Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) yesterday sought help from the public in identifying a man who apparently stole a police official’s service firearm and ammunition from a barrack almost two months ago.
DMP released photograph and video footage of a youth, seeking information on a suspect who they claimed might have taken a 7.62mm pistol, two magazines and 16 rounds of bullets belonging to Assistant Sub-Inspector Himangshu Saha of Shahbagh Police Station from the police station’s barrack on May 5.
Himangshu came to his room on the first floor of the barrack after his shift on that day, left the gun and ammo on his bed and went to the washroom, according to a release on the DMP news portal. When he came back five minutes later, the gun and bullets were not there.
Himangshu filed a case against unidentified people after he could not trace the pistol after searching the barrack, the news portal reads.
On May 8, DMP suspended ASI Himangshu for losing his pistol and ammo.
The investigating officer of the case, analysing nearby close circuit television cameras, collected potential suspects’ photos and video. In the footage, an unidentified youth wearing black and white chequered shirt, carrying a black backpack was seen entering the police barrack and going away after a few minutes, said Masudur Rahman, deputy commissioner of DMP.
The DMP news portal release asked anyone having any information on the man to inform the officer-in-charge of Shahbagh Police Station.
