Rezaul Karim Mallick, additional commissioner of Detective Branch (DB) of the Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP),speaks at a press briefing held at the DMP media center in Dhaka on Saturday.
There will be no ‘Aynahhar’ or ‘Bhater Hotel’ culture at the Detective Branch (DB) office, it will be a place of trust for victims, free from any unnecessary privilege or misconduct.
Rezaul Karim Mallick, additional commissioner of Detective Branch (DB) of the Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP), told this while speaking at a press briefing held at the DMP media center in Dhaka on Saturday.
The DB office is not a place for actors and actresses to lounge, he said, adding that they want to establish the DB office as a place of trust and love for the people. The problems of the helpless and the sufferers will be heard, and they will receive legal support.
Emphasizing the need for accountability and reform, he assured that the DB will be a people-friendly organization where strict action will be taken against the person is found involved in wrongdoing.
He also assured the public that no one would be subjected to torture under his watch so people should not panic when they hear about the DB office—only criminals should fear the detectives.
He also vowed of carrying out his duties with integrity and professionalism.
Mallick pointed out failures of the police force, and said some ‘ambitious and unprofessional’ officers had compromised the entire force's position. The collapse of police morale during the students' movement and the popular uprising against the previous government was unprecedented.
He made it clear that such failings would not be repeated under his leadership, stressing that injustice would not be tolerated within the DB office.
To rebuild the tarnished image of the force, Mallick outlined that skilled and professional officers have been assigned to the DB, working in coordination to restructure the organisation.
Reiterating his commitment to transparency, Mallick said if any DB member is involved in unethical or unprofessional activities, they will not be exempted from accountability.
