Attacks, destruction planned to weaken police: DB chief

Violent attacks and wanton destruction – carried out under the guise of quota reform movement – had been planned to weaken the police, said Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) Additional Commissioner, also Detective Branch (DB) Chief Harun-or-Rashid.
Addressing a press conference at his office on Friday after the arrest of six people in connection with the killing of two policemen, Harun said, “BNP-Jamaat had tried many times to oust democratic governments illegally or make the country ineffective.
“But because of the police, they have repeatedly failed. This is why they have targeted the police. During the quota reform movement, students were used as shields to target the state institutions and police. They went to Jatrabari Shanir Akhra, Rayerbag area and targeted the police. They also announced a Tk 10,000 bounty for killing police personnel.”
