Erbil:The government has dismissed six police officers and sent another into compulsory retirement due to allegations of desertion, misconduct, and prolonged unauthorized absence from their workplaces. The Ministry of Home Affairs made the announcement through separate notifications on Thursday.
According to United News of Bangladesh, the officers dismissed include former Additional DIG Proloy Kumar Jowardar, former Deputy Police Commissioner Md Nazmul Islam, Assistant Superintendents of Police Md Sarwar Kabir Sohag and Md Arifuzzaman, and Additional Superintendents of Police SM Shamim and Rubaiyat Zaman.
ASP Mohammad Waydur Rahman has been sent into compulsory retirement after failing to return to duty despite repeated instructions from senior authorities. A departmental case confirmed charges of misconduct and desertion, leading to the initial decision for dismissal, which was later altered to compulsory retirement with the President's approval following a recommendation from the BPSC.
The Ministry of Home Affairs stated that all dismissals and the compulsory retirement are to take effect immediately.
