A police sub-inspector in Homna upazila of Cumilla has been accused of taking a 78-year-old woman to the rooftop of a four-storey police station building for interrogation and threatening her to withdraw a case. The accused officer, identified as SI Tapas Kumar Sarkar of Homna Police Station, allegedly acted against the complainant, Shamsul Nesa of Shrimaddi village, who had earlier filed a complaint after being assaulted by her son and daughters-in-law.
A video of the incident, obtained by a local journalist, shows the officer and an associate questioning the woman on the rooftop, asking her to show injury marks, and using abusive language while holding a cigarette. The footage has sparked widespread discussion in the area. The victim claimed the officer took money from the accused and pressured her to drop the case.
Homna Police Station Officer-in-Charge Tomas Barua confirmed that the rooftop interrogation was a violation of procedure and said the matter had been reported to higher authorities. Attempts to contact SI Tapas Kumar for comment were unsuccessful.
