Six Police Officials Dismissed, Another Sent on Forced Retirement Over Misconduct

The government has dismissed six police officials, including former Additional Deputy Inspector General (DIG) Proloy Kumar Joardar, from service and sent another officer into forced retirement over allegations of misconduct and other departmental offences.

The Ministry of Home Affairs issued separate notifications on the decisions on Thursday.

Those dismissed include Md Nazmul Islam, former deputy police commissioner of Dhaka Metropolitan Police who was attached to Barishal Range; Sarwar Kabir Sohag, assistant police commissioner of the Criminal Investigation Department; Md Arifuzzaman, assistant police commissioner of the Armed Police Battalion; SM Shamim, additional superintendent of police; and Rubiyat Zaman, additional superintendent of police.

According to the notifications, departmental investigations established allegations of misconduct and unauthorised absence against the officers.

Md Obaidur Rahman, an assistant police commissioner attached to Rangpur Range, was sent into forced retirement on charges of misconduct and absence without leave.

Proloy Kumar Joardar had been absent from his workplace without permission since August 6, 2024, when he was serving as Additional DIG (Operations) at the Police Headquarters in Dhaka.

Despite repeated instructions to return to duty, he did not report to his workplace. A departmental case was subsequently filed against him, and an investigation found the charge of desertion to be established.

The notifications said the dismissal orders were issued under the Government Servants (Discipline and Appeal) Rules, 2018.
