The Detective Branch (DB) of Dhaka Metropolitan Police will imprint a barcode or quick response code on each uniform to separate originals from imitations. The move comes amid reports of scandalous acts using fake DB uniforms, which is distinguished by a sleeveless jacket worn over regular outfits, reports bdnews24.com. The identity of an official can be traced by scanning the QR codes through a mobile app. Fake codes will return the message “invalid QR code”. On when DB officers will sport the new outfit, DMP Additional Commission (logistics) Masum Rabbani said, “We need more expert opinions as there are technical aspects to it.”
