The Police Headquarters has urged to remain vigilant and cautious amid reports of fraudsters impersonating police officers using the names and photographs of real law enforcement personnel.

In a press release issued on Sunday, the Police Headquarters said it has received complaints about fraud rings who are identifying themselves as police officers to deceive and defraud individuals.

Authorities have warned people not to fall victim to such scams and advised verifying the identity of anyone claiming to be a police officer before engaging with them.

"Legal action against these fraudulent groups is going on. Bangladesh Police remains committed to ensuring public safety," the statement said.
