Md. Sadat Hossain is a retired Additional Inspector General of Police of the Bangladesh Police and former principal of the Bangladesh Police Academy.
From 9 October 2002 to 27 May 2003, Hossain served as the principal of the Bangladesh Police Academy. [1]
Hossain was an Additional Inspector General of Police in 2006. [2] Hossain was sent into forced retirement shortly before the end of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party-led four-party alliance government's tenure. [2] Reports at the time indicated that he was senior to several officers who were subsequently promoted to key positions, including Khoda Bux Chowdhury and Chowdhury Kamrul Ahsan. [2] Chowdhury was then appointed the Inspector General of Bangladesh Police. [2] Observers viewed his retirement as part of a broader trend of politicisation within the police administration. [2] This reshuffling favoured officers perceived as aligned with the previous ruling party, while sidelining others, including Hossain, who were not seen as politically aligned. [2]
