Bangladesh Police is committed to providing overall security to the people, including the minority communities, Inspector General of Police (IGP) Md Mainul Islam said on Monday.

The IGP made the remark when the coordinators of the Anti-Discrimination Student Movement met with him at the police headquarters this afternoon.

During the meeting, the student leaders complained that miscreants have vandalised the homes of the minority community and attacked them in some bordering areas such as Thakurgaon, Dinajpur, Panchagarh, Jashore, and some other places.

Mainul Islam told them that the police headquarters has already given necessary instructions to the units concerned to investigate every incident of attack on minorities with utmost importance.

“Proper directions have also been given to arrest the criminals involved in such heinous activities and take necessary legal action and ensure the safety of the victims and their families.”

At that time, the IGP sought the cooperation of individuals and people from different walks of life associated with the student movement for the security of the lives and property of the people, including the minority communities.

He urged everyone to immediately file a complaint at the police station concerned if any such untoward incident occurs anywhere.
