A group of students and leaders of various social organizations today (October 26) gave the police 72 hours to tackle the increasing incidents of looting in Mohammadpur area of ​​the capital.

They went to Mohammadpur police station this evening and raised the issue of “police inaction” with Ziaul Haque, Additional Assistant Commissioner (ADC) of Dhaka Metropolitan Police Tejgaon Zone.

Acknowledging the failure of the police, ADC Zia said, “My police station is always short of manpower. There is also a shortage of vehicles.

“But that can’t be an excuse. Since I’m wearing this (police) uniform, it’s my duty to protect you. Yes, I admit, I failed at that.”

The Additional Deputy Commissioner sought the cooperation of students and public in this regard.

The representatives of the student-people agreed to cooperate and gave the police 72 hours to control the situation in the area.
