Dhaka Bureau: The investigation committee formed by the police has found that three leaders of the Chhatra League were arrested and beaten up at Shahbag police station in the capital. The committee will submit the investigation report to the Commissioner of Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) on Tuesday.
According to sources related to the investigation, the investigation report will recommend action against five policemen, including ADC Harun and ADC Sanjida Afrin. Besides, ADC Sanjida’s husband, Assistant Private Secretary (APS) Azizul Haque, and Chhatra League leaders involved in the incident are also responsible, the committee said.
Sources on the investigation committee say that the reputation of the police and the administration has been tarnished by this incident, which happened due to personal conflict. Disciplinary action has been recommended against those involved. DMP Joint Commissioner (Operations) Biplab Kumar Sarkar said that the committee formed in the incident has completed the investigation.
The DMP Commissioner will take action against the culprits based on the report. On the night of September 9, ADC (suspended) Harun-or-Rashid of the Ramna Division of the police and another government official, Azizul Haque Mamun, clashed at Bardem Hospital in the capital. Another police officer and wife of Azizul Haque Mamun, Sanjida Afrin, was involved in the incident.
As a result of this, two Central Chhatra League leaders were taken to the Shahbag police station, and allegations of torture were raised. The incident sparked a storm of discussion and criticism among the general public, political figures, and police officials.
