The Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) issued a statement on Thursday in the wake of such news in various media. The DMP said law enforcers were justified in checking for travellers' ID cards in light of the prevailing restrictions aimed at curbing the spread of the coronavirus. The police also cited a few incidents regarding the 'movement pass' that caused a stir on social media. "On Apr 14 and 15, with the cooperation of the general public, we implemented the restrictions with great success. "Those who failed to show their ID cards while travelling were stopped for verification, which is logical in the context of the ongoing lockdown.
