The Bangladesh government has initiated efforts to locate 57 fugitive police officers following the arrest of former Inspector General of Police Benazir Ahmed in Dubai. According to police headquarters, these officers fled after August 5, 2024, and were allegedly involved in various crimes during the July uprising. Authorities are preparing to seek Interpol’s assistance to identify their locations. The fugitives include several former senior officials such as ex-DMP Commissioner Habibur Rahman, former SB chief Monirul Islam, and former DB head Harun-or-Rashid.
Police sources said most of the fugitives are believed to be in India, while some have moved to Europe or remain in hiding within Bangladesh. Their salaries have already been suspended. The government has also obtained permission from the Home Ministry to arrest 26 of the officers. Two former IGPs, Chowdhury Abdullah Al-Mamun and A.K.M. Shahidul Haque, are currently imprisoned, while seven other officers have been arrested in connection with the uprising.
An unnamed additional IGP told Amader Desh that bringing the fugitives back for trial depends on government directives.
