Two assistant sub-inspectors of Savar Model Police Station were closed for negligence of duty.
"The punitive action was taken against Abdus Sattar and Sarwar Hossain," said Officer-in-charge of Savar Model Police Station Jewel Mia.
Additional Superintendent of Dhaka police Shahinur Kabir said in the wake of mugging incidents on buses and highways a check-post was installed on Dhaka-Aricha highway at Bank Town area in Savar.
But the two ASIs were found sitting idle on the road without checking buses passing the area.
