KHULNA, July 26, 2026 (BSS) – Khulna Range Deputy Inspector General (DIG) of Police Md. Mostafizur Rahman today said no political affiliation or identity would be considered while taking legal action against offenders, stressing that criminals would be dealt with solely on the basis of their crimes.

"An offender has no identity. Action will be taken based on the offence committed, not on political affiliation or any other identity," he said while exchanging views with journalists here today.

The DIG said police would strengthen law enforcement through technology-driven investigations to bring criminals to justice.
He added that, alongside conventional policing, the Khulna Range Police would adopt a coordinated approach combining intelligence-led policing, technology-driven policing and community engagement to improve crime prevention and investigation.

He said policing would be carried out in line with the government's policy while ensuring active public participation.
Besides taking action after crimes occur, police would place greater emphasis on preventive measures based on intelligence inputs to stop crimes before they happen.

The DIG also said maximum use of mobile technology, digital data and other modern technologies would be ensured to enhance policing services and improve investigative efficiency.

Highlighting the role of the media, Mostafizur Rahman said journalists play a vital role in evaluating police performance and reflecting public expectations.

He added that constructive criticism of police shortcomings by the media would help improve the quality of police services.
Khulna Superintendent of Police Md. Tajul Islam and other senior police officials were present at the meeting.
