The government has sent nine Dhaka Metropolitan Police inspectors, all former chiefs of various police stations during the Awami League’s rule and each with 25 years of service, into compulsory retirement. The home ministry issued nine separate notifications on Aug 7 ordering their retirement. The officers-in-charge (OCs) are Sikder Md Shamim Hossain, Abdul Latif, SM Kamruzzaman, Abdul Quddus Fakir, Mamun Or Rashid, Nurul Islam, Kamal Hossain, Md Selimuzzaman and Abu Bakar Siddique. This section also says the government can retire an officer with a pension at any time after they have completed 25 years of service. During this period, the officer will continue to receive all facilities, benefits, and pension.
