Md. Sadat Hossain
Open-knowledge reference entry
Md. Sadat Hossain is a retired Additional Inspector General of Police of the Bangladesh Police and former principal of the Bangladesh Police Academy.
Career
From 9 October 2002 to 27 May 2003, Hossain served as the principal of the Bangladesh Police Academy.
Hossain was an Additional Inspector General of Police in 2006. Hossain was sent into forced retirement shortly before the end of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party-led four-party alliance government's tenure. 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. Chowdhury was then appointed the Inspector General of Bangladesh Police. Observers viewed his retirement as part of a broader trend of politicisation within the police administration. This reshuffling favoured officers perceived as aligned with the previous ruling party, while sidelining others, including Hossain, who were not seen as politically aligned.

Why this record matters
The phrase “open-knowledge reference entry” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Feb 20, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q135161568. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2002, 2003 and 2006.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
