The Additional Inspector General of Police, Shafiqul Islam, has been made Commissioner of the Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) on Wednesday. His appointment was announced through a communique from the Home Ministry.

Shafiqul Islam, who was serving as the chief of the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) before being DMP commissioner, was also a leader of Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL) at his student life.
