In Pabna’s Bhangura upazila, police have been accused of assaulting the wife, brother, and sister-in-law of a check dishonor case suspect after failing to find him at home. The incident occurred around 1:30 a.m. on Thursday night in Jhobjhobiya village. According to local sources, a police team led by Sub-Inspector Anis conducted a raid to arrest Abdur Rahim Rubel, a warrant-listed suspect and local Jamaat activist. When the family delayed opening the door, officers allegedly broke in.

Family members claimed that Rubel’s wife, Fazila Khatun, showed bail documents, but police verbally abused and beat her, Rubel’s brother Roni Islam, and sister-in-law Swapna Khatun, accusing them of helping Rubel escape. The injured were admitted to Bhangura Upazila Health Complex. Jamaat-e-Islami’s upazila leader Dr. Mohir Uddin visited the victims and condemned the incident, demanding punishment for those responsible.

Officer-in-Charge S.M. Mostafizur Rahman denied the allegations, stating that the family obstructed the arrest and behaved aggressively, injuring two police members who received treatment that night.
