24 sentenced in Dhaka for drug offenses, theft, and other crimes
A Special Metropolitan Magistrate Court under the Mirpur Division of Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) has sentenced 24 criminals to varying jail terms for crimes including drug trafficking, mobile phone snatching, theft, and other anti-social activities.
Special Metropolitan Magistrate Md. Bilal Hossain handed down the judgement, said DMP’s Deputy Commissioner (Media) Talebur Rahman.
They were jailed based on 16 cases filed across multiple police stations — including Mirpur Model, Darussalam, Kafrul, Bhashantek, Rupnagar, Shah Ali, and Pallabi.
According to DMP, swift legal proceedings like these are proving effective in combating street-level crimes such as theft, drug abuse, illegal occupation of public spaces, and eve-teasing.
“These rapid trials ensure justice is delivered promptly, benefiting both victims and the community,” the DMP said in a statement.
The Dhaka Metropolitan Police reaffirmed its commitment to maintaining law and order, noting that regular operations and expedited trials are key to ensuring a safer urban environment, reports UNB.
