Senior officials, including the IGP, were inside the building at the time.
The protesting officers said, "If BCS police officers have been reinstated in the past, why can't we? What is the fault of those who have been proven innocent through investigations and judicial processes? They should not face any obstacles in keeping their jobs. However, officials from the Awami League government, including IGP Shahidul Haque, Benazir Ahmed, and Abdullah Al-Mamun, did not reinstate them."
