Detective Branch of Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) Chief Harun-or-Rashid has stated that those who have committed acts of sabotage and killed police officers in the name of the quota movement will not be spared, no matter where they are.
He made this remark at a press conference held at the DB office in the capital on Friday (26 July).
The DB chief said that those who have killed police officers, murdered civilians, and conducted sabotage at government installations, including the metro rail, will face legal action. Those who led these activities and financed them or facilitated financial transactions will not be spared, no matter where they are.
Harun mentioned 'those people' conducted house-to-house raids with the aim of demoralizing the police. He stated that many police officers have sacrificed their lives for the people at various times, which is very painful for them. He said the quota movement has cost them three police officers, but it has not broken the morale of the police.
He also commented that the attacks and destruction were carried out in a planned manner to weaken the police.
Describing the incidents as premeditated murders and destruction under the guise of the quota reform movement, he said that BNP-Jamaat has repeatedly tried to unlawfully overthrow democratic governments or render the country ineffective. However, due to the police, they have repeatedly failed, which is why this time they targeted the police, he added.
He stated that these evil forces, the Jamaat-BNP circle, launched attacks in the areas of Shoni Akhra and Rayerbagh during the quota reform movement. They attacked police officers wherever they found them.
