The Police Headquarters has transferred eight officers-in-charge of the Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP).
They were transferred in an order issued on Monday.
Superintendent of Police Inamul Haque Sagar of the police’s Media and Public Relations Department said the step was part of a regular transfer.
However, a source at the Police Headquarters claimed that the transfers were due to their recent failure to preemptively gather information and address violence.
The OCs are Parvez Islam of Dhanmondi police station, Mahfuzul Huq Bhuiyan of Mohammadpur, Humayun Kabir of Khilkhet, Farukul Alam of Kafrul, Siddikur Rahman of Darus Salam, Sheikh Sadiq of Turag, Aminul Bashar of Dakshin Khan, and Shaker Mohammad Zubair of Kamrangirchar police station.
