Students in Chattogram have demanded the withdrawal of Deputy Commissioner (DC) Amirul Islam of the Chattogram Metropolitan Police (CMP) North Zone, alleging that he physically touched a female student during a graffiti activity on the Shaheed Wasim Akram Flyover. The allegations were presented at a press conference held on Tuesday afternoon in Dampara, Kotwali, where student representatives, including Chaudhury Saiful Iqbal, outlined six specific demands.

According to student Nusrat Jahan Binti, police officers obstructed them while they were painting graffiti on Monday and attempted to detain several participants. She claimed that DC Amirul personally touched one of their female colleagues during the altercation. The students said they informed the CMP Commissioner about the incident. Saiful Iqbal added that although CMP had banned gatherings and rallies, they were not holding any such event, only painting graffiti. He further alleged that police used unnecessary force under an officer’s direction.

Students also expressed concern that their phone numbers, submitted to the CMP Commissioner’s office, later appeared on political Facebook pages, which they viewed as a security risk. They called for a fair investigation and measures to prevent future harassment.
