The government has reinstated Md Kohinoor Mian, former deputy commissioner (west) of the Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP), cancelling a previous order that had dismissed him from service. According to the notification, Kohinoor Mian had been dismissed from service following two departmental cases filed against him. However, he was later acquitted by the court in two criminal cases filed over the same allegations. Subsequently, the President approved a petition seeking reconsideration of the major punishment, leading to the cancellation of his dismissal order. As a result, the notification regarding his dismissal issued on February 22, 2011 has been revoked, and the period of his dismissal will now be considered part of his official service.
