Additional Inspector General of Police Mosleh Uddin Ahmed has been appointed Commissioner of Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP).
A circular issued by the home ministry on Sunday said the appointment will come into effect immediately. Sunday's move comes as Md Sarwar, who was serving as acting commissioner of DMP, retired after completing his tenure in government service.
Following his retirement, Sarwar handed over charge on Thursday night to SN Nazrul Islam, additional commissioner (crime and operations) of DMP.
On Feb 25, Sheikh Md Sazzat Ali submitted his resignation, after which additional commissioner Sarwar took charge as the acting commissioner.
A member of the 15th BCS batch, Mosleh Uddin served in the Dhaka and Chattogram Metropolitan Police during his career, as well as holding the post of superintendent of police in Kushtia, Bhola, and Sherpur districts. On Oct 24, 2024, he was promoted from DIG to additional IGP.
After serving as additional IGP at Police Headquarters, he took over as the chief of CID on Mar 25. His hometown is in Ramgarh Upazila of Khagrachhari.
He was elected president of the Police Service Association just three days earlier.
