Popular Islamic scholar Mizanur Rahman Azhari has questioned the police’s aggressive behavior following an alleged attack on Inquilab Mancha activists. In a Facebook post on Saturday, February 7, 2026, he referred to a video showing police beating students and asked why such excessive force was used. The incident reportedly occurred on Friday, February 6, during a protest by Inquilab Mancha members.

Azhari criticized the police for what he described as unnecessary brutality, saying the situation could have been handled with restraint. He recalled that a police officer had previously been praised for dispersing a crowd without violence. Expressing disappointment, he said it was shameful and painful that students seeking justice were subjected to such treatment. He urged members of uniformed forces to act with greater professionalism, restraint, and humanity.

Azhari also condemned the police’s behavior at the protest, calling it aggressive and excessive, and expressed hope for more responsible conduct from law enforcement in the future.
