History

Bangladesh Police recommended the formation of a special unit, called Police Bureau of Counter-Terrorism, in August 2011 to the Home ministry. In September 2013, the Home Ministry sent it to the Ministry of Public Administration. A rise in terror attacks in 2015 increased demand for the unit. On 16 February 2016 Counter Terrorism and Transnational Crime Unit of Dhaka Metropolitan Police was formed with 600 personnel.[4] In March 2017 it carried out a raid in Sitakunda, Chittagong leading to the death of two militants.[5] It provided support to Operation Twilight by 1st Para-Commando Battalion of Bangladesh Army on 25 March 2017.[6]
