82 police officers made OSD

Eighty-two police officers who served in elections during the Awami League government have been made Officers on Special Duty, or OSD, reports bdnews24.com.

OSDs are usually political victims, having no work to do either in the policymaking or the implementation process of the government.

The home ministry issued three notifications on Tuesday with this information.

Of the 82 officers, one holds the rank of additional inspector general, while 15 are superintendents of police.

The rest are deputy inspector generals, or DIGs, and additional DIGs.

Earlier, the government had withdrawn the medals of 103 officers who served in police and RAB in the 10th parliamentary elections.

The list also includes the name of former inspector general Benazir Ahmed.
