Inspector General of Police (IGP) Chowdhury Abdullah Al Mamun on Wednesday warned that police will face action if they are found involved in drugs abuse or trade.
He said if any police official is found involved in drugs activities, their punishment will be harsher than general people. “They will not only be brought under law but also lose their job,” he said.
The IGP told this while speaking at the ‘IGP’s Exemplary Good Services Badge’ (IGP’s Badge) and prize distribution ceremony at the parade ground of Rajarbagh Police Lines in the capital on Wednesday, on the second day of Police Week.
