Police asked not to harass people on streets: Info Minister

Information Minister Dr Hasan Mahmud said the government has asked police members not to harass common people on streets unnecessarily.

He said, “People were suggested by the government and administration not take on streets unnecessarily. But they can go outside of home for emergency work. It is very unfortunate if they are harassed. Police are not asked to harass people without any reason.”

The Minister told this to the reporters at his Minto Road official residence on Friday.

But if anyone is found roaming on the streets without any reason, the police members need to convince him or her to stay at home to keep himself or herself protected from being infected by the deadly virus, he said, adding the that Police Headquarters have given directives to police personnel at grassroots to this end.
