Fifty-eight sub-inspector (SI) cadets undergoing training at the Bangladesh Police Academy in Sardah, Rajshahi, have been discharged on grounds of "disciplinary breaches.”
Inamul Haque Sagar, assistant inspector general of police (media and PR) at the Police Headquarters, confirmed this information on Monday.
He said these 58 cadets, who were recommended for final appointment, have been dismissed from training at the police academy due to violations of discipline.
Earlier, the government last month dismissed 252 SIs undergoing basic training at the academy in Rajshahi over similar allegations of misconduct.
On October 25, the authorities issued two separate show cause notices to 59 trainee sub-inspectors (SIs) during training sessions at the Bangladesh Police Academy in Sarda, Rajshahi.
The Sarda Police Academy is the primary training institute for new recruits in the Bangladesh Police.
Founded after the country’s independence in 1971, the academy is responsible for producing officers who uphold the law and maintain public order.
