In a major disciplinary action, the government has dismissed former Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) Joint Commissioner Rifat Rahman Shamim from service. The decision came after he was found guilty of prolonged unauthorized absence, defiance of government orders, and breach of departmental discipline.
The dismissal order, signed by Senior Secretary Manzur Morshed Chowdhury of the Ministry of Home Affairs, was issued on Monday. Sources indicate that Shamim had been absent from his post without permission for an extended period, ignoring multiple directives to return to duty.
Rifat Rahman Shamim served as a Joint Commissioner of the DMP, a high-ranking position in Bangladesh’s law enforcement hierarchy. His removal underscores the government’s commitment to enforcing accountability within the police force. The case has drawn public attention to internal discipline in Bangladesh’s police services.
Further details about Shamim’s current whereabouts or possible legal actions have not been disclosed. The dismissal is seen as a precedent-setting move to curb indiscipline in the police administration.
