The formal ceremony to award medals to police officers during Police Week at the parade ground in Dhaka has been canceled. According to reports, the decision was made at the last moment on Saturday after it was discovered that several controversial officers were included in the list of recipients. Six officers were reportedly informed verbally about the cancellation at the Rajarbagh parade ground.
Police sources said the list contained names of officers whose inclusion raised concerns, prompting authorities to halt the event. The medals were meant to recognize acts of bravery, dedication, and service in 2025, including the Bangladesh Police Medal (BPM), President’s Police Medal (PPM), and their service variants. The Prime Minister was scheduled to present the medals to the recipients.
A total of 107 officers had been preparing for the ceremony since May 2. However, as of Saturday night, no government order (G.O.) had been issued, which is a required step for the awards to be formally conferred.
