Inspector General of Police (IGP) AKM Shahidul Hoque told journalists that a case was filed against them, and an investigation into it was already launched. Meanwhile, a suspect in a robbery case accused nine police of Khalishpur police station, including its officer-in-charge, of gouging out his eyes in Khulna early September. But there trend of low-ranking policemen being sued is changing as more senior officers are facing lawsuits these days than before. For instance, Faridpur’s Superintendent of Police (SP) Subhash Chandra Saha and his wife Rina Chowdhury were accused in graft case. Former IGP Nur Mohammad said some police are committing crimes due to lack of proper intelligence information about recruitment process and proper supervision.
