Police in Bangladesh have been told not to use mobile phones while on duty. The order was given by Inspector General of Police (IGP) AKM Shahidul Hoque on Monday during a meeting at the Rajarbagh Police Lines attended by thousands of police personnel and officers.
“On duty police personnel have been ordered not to use mobile phones,” a police deputy commissioner posted in Dhaka told bdnews24.com. The meeting, however, said a single mobile phone for each unit on duty should be okay.
“There’s an instruction from the IGP to not to use phones while on duty.
It, however, says the head of police unit on duty could use a mobile phone if needed,” police’s Dhaka Range Deputy Inspector General SM Mahfuzul Haque Nuruzzaman told bdnews24.com.
During Monday’s meeting, the constable, who nabbed one of the assailants of a police officer in Dhaka, was rewarded.
On the night of Oct 22, Durssalam Police Station’s Sub-Inspector Ibrahim Molla was stabbed to death at a check post in Dhaka’s Gabtoli. The killer fled, but the other man with him was nabbed by Constable Shahidur Islam.
The meeting also discussed the attack at a police check post manned by five personnel in Savar’s Ashulia, which left a constable killed and another severely injured. Witnesses said that the three other policemen fled when their colleagues were attacked by machete wielding assailants.
