Additional DIG suspended after DJ party raid at his rented Dhaka house

Additional Deputy Inspector General Abdullah Al Jahir has now been suspended over a police raid on a house he rented out in Dhaka’s Khilkhet, where officers recovered drugs and detained 84 people following reports of a DJ party.

The home ministry on Saturday said action was taken because the incident had created a negative perception of the police and severely damaged the force’s public image.

Jahir had been placed on special duty (OSD) shortly after the raid.
