A member secretary of the Sadar Upazila unit of the Swechchhasebak Dal, Rakibul Islam, was allegedly beaten and injured inside Rangpur Metropolitan Kotwali Police Station on Wednesday night. The assault was reportedly led by the station’s officer-in-charge (OC) Azad Rahman and several police members. Following the incident, three officers on duty—female constable Lima Soren, duty officer Meherunnesa, and sub-inspector Masud Rana—were withdrawn from their posts. The Metropolitan Police confirmed the action in a midnight press release.
According to the statement, Police Commissioner Mohammad Abdul Mabud ordered an inquiry to uncover the facts. A three-member investigation committee was formed, headed by Additional Police Commissioner (Administration and Finance) Naresh Chakma, with DC (Crime) Mahfuzur Rahman and AC Kotwali Sukumar Roy as members. The committee will conduct an impartial investigation and recommend legal and departmental measures.
Rakibul Islam claimed that he was beaten with a rifle despite identifying himself as a BNP-affiliated leader. The OC denied the assault allegation, saying he only intervened in a scuffle between two families. Rakibul was later taken to hospital for treatment.
