Dhaka Metropolitan Police Commissioner Khandker Golam Faruq has assured that his force will fulfill its duties "impartially" in the by-election for the Dhaka-17 parliamentary seat, according to bdnews24.com. He pledged to "step aside" from his position if the police fail to demonstrate neutrality during the election. The Election Commission met with law enforcement on Tuesday at its Sher-e-Bangla Nagar offices ahead of the Jul 17 bypolls. Afterwards, EC Secretary Jahangir Alam said that in addition to the Dhaka-17 polls, voting will take place in 75 areas across the country. Commissioner Faruq said law enforcement will take all necessary steps to ensure a fair electoral process.
