Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) Commissioner Sheikh Md Sajjat Ali has urged city residents to verify the identities of domestic workers before employing them, citing recent security concerns.
In a press release issued on Tuesday night, he referenced the recent double murder and robbery in Mohammadpur on Monday, allegedly committed by a domestic worker.
Sajjat Ali also mentioned that incidents of house helps fleeing with valuables are also not new, and could be significantly reduced if households exercise caution.
He requested residents to collect and securely preserve the national identity card of the domestic worker, a recently taken passport-sized photograph, and the names and addresses of at least two guarantors, in order to confirm identity before hiring.
The DMP commissioner further urged citizens to cooperate with police by accurately filling out the tenant registration form and providing necessary information as part of routine security measures.
Police are racing to capture the domestic worker named Ayesha, suspects in Mohammadpur double murder, he added.
