Award-Winning SI Nur Sadiq Dismissed on Charges of Indiscipline

Mohammad Nur Sadiq, a member of the 40th Cadet Batch, was dismissed from his role as a Sub-Inspector (SI) on allegations of breaching discipline, just days before officially joining the police force. After enduring a rigorous year-long training at the Sardah Police Academy in Rajshahi, Sadiq’s dream of serving as a police officer and supporting his family financially has been shattered. “I had hoped to take on my family’s financial responsibilities through this job, but now I’ve become a burden to them,” a disheartened Sadiq shared.

 

Hailing from Choto Binairchar village in Narayanganj’s Araihazar Thana, Sadiq is the second child of a small-scale businessman. He completed his HSC from Cambrian College and graduated from Daffodil International University. His journey to becoming an SI was fueled by a deep admiration for the police uniform. “From the moment I joined university, I fell in love with the blue uniform. The attraction was so strong that I set aside my dream of becoming an engineer and began preparing for the SI role,” he told The Daily Campus. Despite facing setbacks in the 38th and 39th batch recruitment processes, Sadiq persevered. In 2023, his determination paid off when he passed 11 knockout tests and joined the 40th batch for basic training on November 4 at Sardah Police Academy.

 

However, just 12 days before his official appointment, Sadiq was dismissed. The authorities accused him of leaving a passing parade late and allegedly inciting others with provocative remarks. Sadiq strongly refutes these claims, highlighting his exemplary record during training. “I was honored with special awards for maintaining discipline at three master parades in the ‘Good Service’ category,” he said proudly. “After such hard work, I was dismissed on baseless allegations.”

 

Sadiq’s path to this point was far from easy. To fund his education, he relied on tutoring and later worked as an assistant teacher at a private high school, a job he left to pursue his SI training. Now, jobless and stigmatized by his dismissal, he struggles to find employment. “Once private organizations learn about my dismissal from the police, they show no interest in hiring me,” he lamented.

 

The dismissal has taken a heavy toll on Sadiq and his family. With his father’s modest income barely sustaining their eight-member household, mounting debts have added to their woes. “I thought I’d secure this job and support my aging parents and younger brother, but instead, I’ve become a burden,” Sadiq said. “On top of that, I face constant social ridicule and humiliation. My entire family is traumatized.”

 

Sadiq is now seeking justice and reinstatement. “I don’t want to be a burden to my country. I want the opportunity to serve the nation and contribute to its welfare,” he urged.
