A three-member committee was formed on Monday afternoon to look into the allegation of torture on two Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL) leaders by additional deputy commissioner (Ramna Zone) of DMP Harun Ar Rashid at Shahbagh police station.
The committee was also asked to submit its report within two working days.
The probe committee was formed led by Deputy Commissioner (DC-operations) of Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP), said a media release signed by DMP Commissioner Khandaker Golam Faruk.
The central committee’s Organising Secretary Anwar Hossen Nayem and Science Affairs Secretary Sharif Ahmed Munim and some other fellows locked into an altercation with ADC Harun over a matter at Birdem Hospital at Shahbagh on Saturday evening.
However, ADC Harun managed to escape from there. After a while he appeared at the incident place with police forces and took Nayeem and Sharif to the Shahbagh Police station and beat them roughly.
Around 1:00 am at night, they were set free from the police station and taken to the hospital for treatment.
It was learnt that ADC Harun was chatting with a woman police officer of 33rd BCS at Bardem Hospital. The woman official`s husband came to know about this and went there with Naeem and Munim. The woman officer`s husband is also an administration cadre officer and former leader of Chhatra League and all of them are from Gazipur.
On Sunday, police headquarters transferred ADC Harun to Armed Police Battalion (APBn) from the DMP.
