A young man named Riyad Hossain (34), who was detained in Pallabi on suspicion of robbery, died in police custody. His family claims Sub-Inspector Ashraful took a 20,000 taka bribe in exchange for Riyad’s release and returned the money after his death.
Police have denied the bribery allegation and claim there’s no evidence linking Riyad to any robbery, though they allege he was associated with a local criminal group. Riyad’s wife strongly refuted this, saying her husband was not a criminal and was beaten by police, not the public. The Officer-in-Charge countered that there is CCTV footage and denied police involvement in the death. He assured that any complaints about bribery will be investigated.
