Actions underway against absentee police personnel: Police Headquarters

Departmental actions are being taken against the police personnel who have yet to report for duty since the fall of Awami League-government on August 5, according to the Police Headquarters.

Their salaries have been stopped, and they are being sued to take legal action against them, Inamul Haque Sagar, additional inspector general (media and PR) at the Police Headquarters, told Jago News on Saturday.

A separate team has been formed by the police to apprehend the absentee police personnel, he said, adding that their passports are being scrapped so that they cannot flee the country.

According to the Police Headquarters, 187 officers have yet to report for duty.
