124 police officers transferred in latest reshuffle across Bangladesh

The move follows several rounds of reshuffling after government change

As many as 124 officers holding the ranks of additional superintendent of police and assistant superintendent of police, or ASP, have been transferred in a single day in a major reshuffle,

Among them, 16 additional SPs have been reassigned, while 108 recently promoted ASPs have been given new postings as additional SPs.

Police Headquarters issued orders on Monday through two separate notifications.

As per the directives, the transferred officers must hand over their duties by Mar 19.

Failure to do so will result in them being considered on “stand release” from the following day.

Since the change in government, there has been a series of major reshuffles within the force.

In November 2024, the interim government replaced former police chief Md Mainul Islam with Baharul Alam as the new inspector general of police, or IGP.

Following the new IGP's appointment, further organisational shifts have been made within the police.
