ISPR issues clarification on Army letter regarding alleged police harassment

DHAKA, July 12, 2025 (BSS) - The Inter Services Public Relations (ISPR) today issued a clarification regarding an administrative letter from the Army Headquarters that was recently circulated on social media, noting that the content of the letter has been misinterpreted. 

The press release noted that the letter was issued solely in response to a request from the National Independent Investigation Commission formed to probe the brutal killings during the 2009 Pilkhana BDR mutiny which called for compiling a list of alleged harassments of military personnel by police at different times.

It further added that the letter was immediately withdrawn by Army Headquarters to prevent any kind of misinterpretation or unintended reactions.

Clarifying the matter, the ISPR said the letter being misinterpreted by a vested quarter in an attempt to create misunderstanding and mistrust between the Bangladesh Army and the Bangladesh Police.

Both the Bangladesh Army and Police have long been working together with mutual respect, coordination, and professional camaraderie to ensure national security and law enforcement, the letter says.

ISPR urged all concerned to refrain from spreading misleading or motivated information on social media or in the media regarding this issue.
