The Bangladeshi government has finalized the dismissal of 80 police officers accused of involvement in killings and abuses during the July–August 2024 uprising. According to the Ministry of Home Affairs and intelligence sources, the officers, ranging from Deputy Inspector General to Assistant Superintendent of Police, were identified as loyalists of the former Awami League government. Three officers—Mishu Biswas, Jewel Chakma, and Mahmudul Hasan—have already been formally dismissed through a ministry order issued on Thursday.
The list includes several high-profile former officials such as Biplob Kumar Sarkar, Harun-or-Rashid, Proloy Kumar Jowardar, Syed Nurul Islam, and K.M. Ehsanullah, many of whom are reported to be fugitives. They are accused of ordering or participating in shootings against protesters and opposition activists, as well as other human rights violations. Cases under murder and explosives laws have been filed against many of them.
Home Ministry Additional Secretary Kazi Mohammad Saiful Islam confirmed that legal proceedings are ongoing against the 80 officers and that further dismissals will follow in phases. Some of the accused are also under investigation for alleged corruption and illegal wealth accumulation.
