No political reason behind dismissing trainee SIs : Home Adviser

Home Affairs Adviser Lt Gen (retd) Md Jahangir Alam Chowdhury on Tuesday said the discharge of trainee sub-inspectors is not a new precedent and there is no political reason behind the dismissal.

Refraining from giving a detailed explanation, the adviser told the reporters, “There are also precedents of discharging the entire batch on the day before the passing-out ceremony.”

While replying to a question, he said the Bangladesh Police Academy can clarify the issue for taking such a step.

In a stringent measure, 250 cadet SIs have been dismissed from the police academy in Sarda, Rajshahi due to violations of disciplinary codes.
