Suspended Superintendent of Police (SP) SM Fazlul Haque, facing charges of dowry harassment and domestic violence, attacked a journalist while being escorted to custody in Natore after his bail plea was rejected. Following the incident, local journalists and cameramen staged a protest in front of the court detention center, demanding that Haque be treated like any other accused individual—handcuffed, unmasked, and secured with a waist rope before being taken to prison. Responding to the demand, security personnel later escorted him to jail accordingly.
