Six police officials, including one holding the rank of Additional Deputy Inspector General (Additional DIG), have been dismissed from service. The order was issued on Thursday by the Public Security Division of the Ministry of Home Affairs. Among those dismissed are one Additional DIG-rank official and five others of various ranks.

Reason for dismissal

While the specific reasons for the dismissals have not been immediately disclosed, sources indicate the decision was made in the public interest and to maintain discipline. The notification stated the order would take effect immediately. The ministry has not yet officially released detailed allegations against the dismissed officials.

Promotions at ACC

On the same day, the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) headquarters issued a separate notification promoting eight senior officials. Among those promoted, Mohammad Morshed Alam, a Director at the ACC headquarters, has been elevated to the rank of Director General (DG).

Additionally, seven Deputy Directors have been promoted to the rank of Director. They are A S M Sazzad Hossain, Md.

Masudur Rahman, Mosammat Selina Akter Moni, Farzana Yasmin, Md. Hafizul Islam, Md.

Nazmusshayadat, and Md. Foysal.

The ACC notification stated that the order, issued in the public interest, would be effective immediately. The new appointments are expected to bring dynamism to the ACC's operations.

Overall context

Analysts view these simultaneous administrative decisions in two key state institutions as part of efforts to ensure discipline and accountability. Although the police dismissals and ACC promotions are separate matters, both notifications cite the public interest as the basis for the decisions.
