Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal has vowed to bring to book any police officer who commits a crime.
The minister on Friday highlighted the strides taken by the police towards professionalism but admitted there were still a few rogue elements within the force, reports bdnews24.com.
“The police of today is not the same as the one from 15 years ago," he told reporters at an event in Dhaka's Tejgaon.
"They are capable of dealing with any situation. They are doing well even during the pandemic. Some policemen are doing bad things and are being punished.”
His remarks came a day after a policewoman filed a rape case against Superintendent of Police Moktar Hossain, who is in charge of the Police Bureau of Investigation.
A relationship between a police officer, Golam Saklain, and detained actress Pori Moni has also been the subject of much conjecture in recent weeks.
