The Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) has decided to form an internal probe committee to investigate the role of police during the recent attack on former student leader Nurul Haque Nur. DMP official Nazrul Islam confirmed that, following the directive of the commissioner, the committee comprising senior officers will be formed on Sunday.
The committee will investigate why the police were present at the scene, whether they had any role in the attack, and if there was negligence in performing their duties.
The incident took place in Bijoynagar on Friday, when members of joint forces launched a brutal assault on Nur and his associates. Viral videos show Nur bleeding heavily from his face and chest, with his nose visibly injured. A man in a red polo shirt—allegedly a police officer—was also seen repeatedly beating him, according to Rashed Khan.
