Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) and Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) on Monday declared Tk 25,000 to 1, 00,000 as bounty for helping the police personnel arrest attackers, anarchists and
troublemakers at any places of the country. Frequent incidents of arson and bomb-attack on vehicles are being reported almost every day from across the country since the BNP sponsored blockade started from Jan 5.
Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) Commissioner Asaduzzaman Mia told a briefing yesterday that they would keep secret the identities of citizens helping arrest criminals.
Citizens, who will also nab the arsonists trying to commit arson attack red-handed, will get cash reward of Tk 100,000.
A reward of Tk 50,000 is earmarked for information leading to the arrest of those caught while hurling petrol bombs or handmade bombs.
Any information about bomb-making dens will fetch a reward of Tk 25,000, according to the DMP.
“I would request citizens to resist this ongoing violence and help the police,” said the DMP chief.
He added, police will distribute leaflets across the capital about the rewards. On Jan 21, Industries Minister Amir Hossain Amu said that the government would give Tk 100,000 as reward for those helping catch troublemakers.
Two days later, the RAB also announced cash rewards from Tk 10,000 and Tk 100,000.
