Dhaka: To avoid confusion about the number of police personnel killed in the mass uprising led by students in July-August, a list has been published by the Police Headquarters.
The list was sent to the media from the Press Wing of the Chief Adviser on Friday (October 25).
The list contains information about the deaths of 44 people. The Police Headquarters has published this list of police personnel killed in violence in various parts of the country during the anti-discrimination movement in July-August this year.
The list mentions the names of the deceased, their positions, dates of death and names of the attached units and the place of occurrence.
Releasing the list, the headquarters said, ‘We have noticed that some news outlets and some individuals are deliberately spreading false and incorrect information about the number of police personnel killed in the mass uprising led by students in July-August. Therefore, the actual list of police officers killed in the mass uprising has been published.’
The Police Headquarters further said that the Police Department very carefully maintains a list of officers or constables who were injured or killed in protests or violence. If anyone claims that there were police deaths outside this list during the mass uprising, they are called upon to provide evidence.
