Record GD if anyone wants to file it

DMP boss asks OCs

Staff Correspondent
The Dhaka Metropolitan Police commissioner yesterday directed the officers-in-charge of all police stations in the capital to cooperate if anyone, especially a blogger, approaches them to file a general diary over security or death threats, according DMP sources.
Though recording a GD is part of the usual duties of the police stations, DMP boss Asaduzzaman Mia gave the directives
as allegations of two police stations' refusal to record CDs cropped up recently.
Officers at the two stations, however, refuted the allegations.
Khilgaon Police Station allegedly refused to accept a GD from blogger Niladri Chattopadhyay Niloy, who sought security from law enforcers. He was later hacked to death at his Goran house on August 7.
Sher-e-Bangla Nagar Police Station reportedly declined to record a GD of senior
journalist Probir Sikdar over alleged threats on him and his family.
Later, he in a Facebook status said LGRD Minister Khandaker Mosharraf Hossain, businessman Moosa bin Shamser and condemned fugitive war criminal Abul Kalam Azad would be responsible if he were killed.
Probir was arrested on August 16 in a case filed under Information and Communication Technology Act for "tarnishing the minister's image” through the Facebook post.
Speaking at a monthly conference at the DMP headquarters yesterday, the DMP commissioner asked the police officers to take special care of the GDs filed over security or death threats and investigate those Sincerely.
He also asked the OCs to make the neighbours of the complainant aware of the situation, said DMP sources.
A police officer, who was present at the conference, told The Daily Star that the DMP commissioner gave the instructions as some officers had not shown due diligence in recording GDs.
Recent incidents of clashes and killings over political rivalries were also discussed in the meeting. Some field-level officers said a section of ruling party activists, involved in intra-party clashes, became a major concern for security and stability in the capital.
The DMP commissioner then asked the OCs to closely monitor the situation in their areas and inform local senior leaders of the ruling Awami League about the prevailing tension before it triggers a clash.
If things are not settled, action must be taken against the troublemakers irrespective of their political identities, said the commissioner.
The police officers were also asked to increase the number of check posts and search vehicles ahead of Eid-ul-Azha.
