Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) Commissioner Mosleh Uddin Ahmed announced that law enforcement will take action against criminals irrespective of their political or social identity. Speaking at a 'Meet the Press' event at the DMP Media Centre on Wednesday morning, he said police will respond immediately wherever mob activity occurs. He emphasized that operations against extortionists, armed criminals, terrorists, drug dealers, online gamblers, and fraudsters are continuing under a zero-tolerance policy.

The commissioner reported that 206 listed extortionists have been arrested so far in special drives. He added that operations against juvenile gangs are ongoing, with gang leaders being brought under the law. Referring to top criminals, he noted that some individuals released on bail are re-engaging in crime and will also face legal action.

Addressing police officers, Ahmed directed that police stations must be citizen- and service-friendly, free from brokers, and that any officer found guilty of misconduct will face disciplinary measures. He also mentioned that controlling battery-powered rickshaws is difficult for police alone due to a syndicate formed during the previous government.
