Dhaka: Any policemen found involved in drug dealing, patronising or helping the traders will be given exemplary punishment, Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) Commissioner Asaduzzaman Mia said on Tuesday.
‘We have taken a tough stance against drugs. If we find any drug den in the city, we will bulldoze it,’ Asaduzzaman said after inaugurating a Closed-Circuit Camera control room and police service week 2019 in the city’s Aftabnagar in the morning, reports the UNB.
He said drug dens from Karail slum and Karwan Bazar had been rooted out. ‘We are also looking for criminals behind the drug trade,’ he said.
About CC cameras, he said they played a vital role in preventing crimes. ‘Crime rates in Gulshan, Banani and Baridhara came down to zero after the installation of CC cameras,’ the DMP commissioner said.
