The NSI is currently focused on restoring public trust and institutional credibility while transitioning toward a non-partisan intelligence framework.
NSI included in government directives for the observance of July Uprising Day 2026.
Home Minister confirmed army deployment in six districts based on NSI intelligence reports.
NSI Director Barrister Mohammad Mosharraf Hossain promoted to Additional IG of the CID.
PMO authorized two NSI officials to attend a counter-terrorism expert meeting in Abu Dhabi.
Established December 1972 by cabinet decision, no statutory act. NSI has always reported directly to the PMO and its DG has traditionally been a serving military officer on deputation -- a structural anomaly flagged by reform advocates as blurring civilian-military accountability lines. DG Sarwar Farid (Maj Gen, Bangladesh Army) was appointed August 13, 2024, days after Sheikh Hasina's fall, replacing Maj Gen Md Hossein Al Morshed who had held the post for only four months. Separately, a lower-level 'Director' post exists within NSI distinct from the DG: Brig Gen ABM Faisal Baten was appointed Director on December 31, 2024 (gazette notification). The January 5, 2026 Commission of Inquiry final report explicitly implicated NSI in enforced disappearances -- the most significant accountability finding against the agency in its history. No prosecutions of NSI personnel have followed as of May 2026. The UK visit (April 28 - May 1, 2025) with MI6-linked counterparts and the PM meeting (February 19, 2026) are cross-verified across multiple independent outlets. Budget and staff count are classified; NSI is not individually itemised in public MoF budget documents. The 'current_head' reflects the DG role (Sarwar Farid, since August 13, 2024); Faisal Baten's December 2024 appointment is a subordinate director post and is captured in key_circulars. website nsi.gov.bd resolves to nsi.portal.gov.bd (shadow panel / load balancer) with minimal public content.
