Relating to the missing of a student of North South University in Dhaka, the IGP said the matter is being investigated with importance.

Shahidul Haque said that the number of absenting students in college and university has been reduced to a great extent. All conscious people should remain vigilant against militancy and terrorism, he added.

He said police is committed to bring all the godfathers of drugs to book. “Punitive measures to be taken against the police personnel who would fail to take stern action against the drug traffickers,” he warned.
