The government has promoted retired police officer Ansar Uddin Khan Pathan as Additional IGP. The promotion was given through a notification of the Ministry of Public Administration on Monday (September 15). Earlier, on April 30, the government appointed him as the Coordinator, Grade-1, of the International Crimes Tribunal’s Investigation Agency for two years on a contractual basis. He is currently serving in that position. Ansar Uddin Khan Pathan is well known as a smart, honest and humane police officer. He is also known as a skilled and popular teacher. Many of the current young police officers are his direct students.

However, due to his professionalism and honesty, he could not be removed from the police force. He retired as an officer of the Bangladesh Police in 2022. Since retirement, he has been active in social service activities and writing. Ansar Uddin Khan Pathan’s father is the late Surat Ali. Before starting his career as a police officer, his mother’s dream was that he would work in a high government position, but he started his career only after his mother’s death. Ansar Uddin Khan Pathan’s village home, Shaheda Memorial Library, has built an institution named after his mother to build an enlightened society in Kajla village, Bairati Union, Purbadhala Upazila, Netrokona district. During his career, he served as the Superintendent of the Bangladesh Police Academy.
