The government has appointed Additional Inspector General of Police Mosleh Uddin Ahmed as the new Commissioner of Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP).

Following his retirement, Sarwar handed over charge on Thursday night to SN Nazrul Islam, additional commissioner (crime and operations) of DMP.
On Feb 25, Sheikh Md Sazzat Ali submitted his resignation, after which additional commissioner Sarwar took charge as the acting commissioner.
