Since the downfall of fascism in the July popular uprising, the government has revoked medals awarded to 40 police officers who have fled their posts. Among them are notable figures such as Mohammad Harun-or-Rashid, Additional Commissioner of Dhaka Metropolitan Police, Deputy Inspector General Syed Nurul Islam, and Additional DIG Biplob Kumar Sarkar. A directive from the Ministry of Home Affairs states that these officers abandoned their duties and are currently subject to departmental action. Consequently, the police medals previously granted to these 40 officers have been officially withdrawn as part of disciplinary measures.
