DHAKA, Jan 6, 2026 (BSS) - The Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) has refuted 
reports published by certain media outlets that falsely attributed statements 
to DMP Commissioner SM Sazzat Ali regarding the security of candidates in the 
13th national parliament election.

In a clarification issued today, the DMP stated that the Commissioner did not 
make any such comments to any media outlet concerning candidate security. 

Authorities described the circulated statements as baseless, untrue, and 
deliberately fabricated.

The DMP emphasized that the misleading reports do not reflect the 
Commissioner's views or any official position of the police force. 

Calling on the public to remain cautious, the DMP urged citizens not to be 
misled by inaccurate or false news.

The police authority reaffirmed its commitment to transparency and 
responsible communication, especially during the sensitive election period, 
and advised media outlets to verify information from reliable and official 
sources before publication.
