Sabotage plans won’t be successful: DMP

Additional commissioner of Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) Dr Mahid Uddin on Tuesday said that those who are planning sabotages in different areas of Dhaka city would never be successful.

The commissioner said this while speaking at a press conference at DMP media center in the city’s Minto Road area.

He said police are committed to protecting the lives of city dwellers and protecting their property.

“This is part of our responsibility and the police have been and will remain steadfast in performing that responsibility,” he added.

Mahid Uddin said the main purpose of those who are involved in sabotages is to create panic by creating a fearful atmosphere to implement the programmes of different political parties.

He said those who set buses on fire mainly get into the bus in the guise of passengers and after setting fire with petrol they quickly get down.

Sometimes they try to throw something from a short distance, he said.

The DMP commissioner assured that police patrol has been intensified and police personnel are deployed at various check posts.

He said those carrying out subversive activities  will be arrested wherever they are, he added.
