Dhaka Metropolitan Police Commissioner Assaduzzaman Miah yesterday vowed to control the ongoing subversive activities, including arson attacks and blasting crude bombs, in the capital within a week.
In the last seven days, the city dwellers had handed at least 20 miscreants over to local police in the capital when the criminals were trying to flee the scene after torching or trying to set vehicles on fire, the DMP chief said.
He made the comments when members of the newly-elected executive committee members of Crime Reporters Association of Bangladesh (CRAB) met him at the DMP headquarters.
When asked, the DMP chief denied the allegation of mass arrests. “If we get any such allegation, we will take punitive action against those responsible.”
Asaduzzaman also urged the elites of the society to donate vehicles for the police stations. He said even though each police station had at least 10 patrol teams, they faced problems due to lack of sufficient police vehicles.
Later, the DMP commissioner received a police van, donated by “Nipa Group” for Dakkhin Khan police station.
