History
The Highway Police was established on 11 June 2005 by the Bangladesh Nationalist Party government. It can only investigate crimes under a few sections of Penal Code 1860 and the Motor Vehicle Ordinance, 1983.[5] The Highway Police has jurisdiction over 5,487 kilometre of national highways and 4,165 kilometre of local roads.[6]
On 28 August 2018, the Highway Police suspended the Officer in Charge of Bonpara Highway Police Station GM Shamsun Nur. This was after a bus without proper registration papers was involved in a fatal road accident in which 15 people died.[7]
