‘Police have no plans to buy bed-sheets from Germany’

Bangladesh Police headquarters has said, it is not true that the Inspector General of Police (IGP) is visiting Germany to buy 100,000 bedsheets for the police force.

Md Kamruzzaman, assistant inspector general of police for media in a press release confirmed the matter on Wednesday (February 16).

The press release said, Germany is not a country which produces and exports bed sheets, they are a country of heavy industry. So, the IGP has no reason to go to Germany to buy sheets and pillow covers.

Moreover, according to the Public Procurement Act, a government procurement official cannot purchase or procure any type of government product by visiting any market or country like personal goods, the release reads.

A vested quarter is trying to tarnish the image of the police force by spreading rumors in the form of informational discrepancies caused by an inadvertently created language discrepancy in a government order.
