Inspector General of Bangladesh Police (IGP) Md. Ali Hossain Fakir has issued strict directives to field-level officers to crack down on drug syndicates, terrorists, and extortionists, declaring that political affiliations will offer no protection to lawbreakers.

Presided over by Additional IGP (Crime & Operations) Md. Sayedur Rahman, the session focused on developing security protocols for the upcoming Durga Puja festival, countering social media misinformation, enforcing body-worn camera mandates, and dismantling juvenile gang networks alongside their influential backers. High-ranking officials reviewed nation-wide statistics covering robbery, homicide, abduction, warrant executions, and trial conviction rates, with range DIGs and metropolitan commissioners attending virtually.
