Ahead of the national election, the list of new officers-in-charge (OCs) for 50 police stations under the Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) has been published after a lottery-based selection process involving 527 stations nationwide.

In an order signed on Thursday by DMP Commissioner Sheikh Md Sazzat Ali, 50 police inspectors were transferred and appointed as OCs to different police stations in the capital.

Earlier, superintendents of police in all 64 districts were transferred through a lottery. As a continuation of that process, the lottery for OC postings was held at the Ministry of Home Affairs on Tuesday.
