History

The Police Bureau of Investigation was formed on 18 Sep 2012 to investigate "sensational" and difficult cases.[2] On November 2016 Bangladesh Police burned down shanties of Santals in Gaibandha and the PBI was tasked to identify the responsible police officers.[3][4] They were charged with the investigation of the 2017 South Surma Upazila bombings.[5] PBI has been tasked to collect evidence from terrorist attacks such as the 2017 RAB base suicide attack and the raid on the militant base in Sitkundia.[6][7] The agency is responsible for the investigation of human trafficking.[8]

gollark: Yes.
