An analysis published on May 12, 2026, highlights extensive functional overlap and coordination problems among Bangladesh’s law enforcement and intelligence agencies, including the police, DGFI, NSI, and RAB. The report notes duplication in counterterrorism operations, lack of interoperability in technical tools, and rising state expenditure due to parallel structures. It also alleges that DGFI operates media-related units such as the Press and Public Media Bureau and the Public Relation Monitoring Cell without legal mandate, influencing news content and media management.
The article argues that these practices have weakened institutional integrity and accountability, with agencies engaging in activities beyond their legal scope, including social media operations and political interference. It further points to inadequate training and resources in auxiliary forces like Ansar and calls for structural reforms to clarify command relationships between civilian and military administrations.
The author concludes that functional overlap must be removed before empowering the police, urging agencies to return to their legally defined roles to prevent inefficiency, human rights violations, and state-sponsored misconduct.
